Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wind turbine blade, a wind turbine generator including the wind turbine blade, and a wind turbine blade design method.
- a wind turbine generator rotates wind turbine blades around an axis by wind power, and converts the rotational force into electric power to obtain a power generation output.
- the power generation output of the wind turbine generator is represented by the product of the shaft end output (output generated by the blade) and the conversion efficiency (efficiency of bearings, generators, etc.). Further, the shaft end output is expressed by the following formula, and if the blade has high blade efficiency and a large blade diameter, the power generation amount is improved.
- Shaft end output 1/2 x air density x wind speed 3 x blade efficiency x ⁇ x (blade diameter / 2) 2
- the upper limit is about 0.5 due to the influence of the wind turbine wake and the air resistance of the blade. Therefore, further significant improvement in blade efficiency is difficult.
- the blade diameter has an influence on the output by its square, it is effective to increase the blade diameter to improve the power generation amount.
- the expansion of the blade diameter leads to an increase in aerodynamic load (thrust force acting in the inflow direction and moment transmitted to the blade root), which increases the size and weight of equipment such as the rotor head, nacelle, and tower, which in turn increases costs.
- a technique for increasing the length of the blade while suppressing an increase in the aerodynamic load of the blade is essential.
- a wind turbine blade has a predetermined optimum cord length for a predetermined peripheral speed ratio, and has a relationship expressed by the following equation (Wind Energy Handbook, John Wiley & Sons, p378).
- Copt / R ⁇ ⁇ 2 ⁇ CLdesign ⁇ r / R ⁇ 16 / 9 ⁇ ⁇ / n (3)
- R (blade radius) is half the blade diameter
- ⁇ is the design peripheral speed ratio
- CLdesign is the design lift coefficient
- r is the radial position of the blade cross section
- n is the number of blades.
- the design peripheral speed ratio is the tip peripheral speed / infinite upstream wind speed.
- the design lift coefficient is the lift coefficient at the angle of attack at which the lift / drag ratio (lift / drag) of the airfoil (blade cross section) is maximized.
- the (aerodynamic) shape and inflow conditions (Reynolds number) of the airfoil (blade cross section) It depends on.
- the wing shape (wing cross section) has the following characteristics.
- 1. High design lift coefficient The design lift coefficient “combination” is optimized.
- the design lift coefficient “combination” means different blade thickness ratios (maximum blade thickness divided by code length) applied to one wind turbine blade. This is a combination of the design lift coefficients of a series of airfoil series / family / set. For example, as a blade thickness ratio of an airfoil applied to a wind turbine, a combination of 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30, 36, and 42% can be given.
- Patent Document 1 discloses an airfoil for improving wind turbine output. Specifically, an aerofoil having a blade thickness ratio in the range of 14% to 45% and a design lift coefficient in the range of 1.10 to 1.25 is disclosed (see claim 1).
- the shape of the blade leading edge is defined in order to suppress the performance degradation due to the roughness of the blade leading edge (dust adhesion, scratches, manufacturing errors, etc. on the blade leading edge). Specifically, when the cord length position of the blade leading edge is 0% and the cord length position of the blade trailing edge is 100%, the distance from the cord on the blade back side at the 2% position is divided by the cord length. The percentage is specified as 7% or more and 9% or less.
- the back bulge YS and the ventral bulge YP are used.
- the back-side swelling YS is a percentage of a value obtained by dividing the distance from the cord on the blade back side at the maximum blade thickness position by the cord length.
- the ventral bulge YP is a percentage of a value obtained by dividing the distance from the cord on the blade ventral side at the maximum blade thickness position by the cord length.
- the relationship between the dorsal bulge YS and ventral bulge YP and the design lift coefficient is not studied at all.
- Patent Document 1 discloses an appropriate combination of design lift coefficients from the viewpoint of wind turbine output.
- the design lift coefficient is 1. even on the blade root side where the blade thickness ratio exceeds 30%. The range is from 10 to 1.25, which makes the cord length excessive and makes it difficult to transport the wind turbine blades.
- the airfoil shape (blade cross-sectional shape) at each blade thickness ratio is changed in the longitudinal direction of the wind turbine blade. There has been no specific study of how to give it. In addition, it is necessary to consider the shape of the blade (blade cross-sectional shape) at each blade thickness ratio in consideration of actual production.
- the airfoil shape (blade cross-sectional shape) is the blade cross-section (Fig.
- FIG. 3 is the airfoil (baseline, 2b, 3a, 3b) with the design lift coefficient changed from 1.25 to 1.45 from the blade tip side (Station ⁇ 4) to the blade root side (Station 1). It is disclosed. That is, it is disclosed that the lift coefficient on the blade root side with respect to the blade tip is increased to reduce the cord length. However, the design lift coefficient is increased within the blade thickness ratio of 21% to 30%, which is the thin blade portion. Since the position where the blade thickness ratio is 21% to 30% corresponds to a radial position where large wind force is received, it is not appropriate in terms of aerodynamic characteristics to change the design lift coefficient at such a radial position.
- Patent Document 2 it is known to define an airfoil by defining the distance from the blade back side cord at the blade leading edge.
- Patent Document 2 defines the distance on the blade back side in consideration of the roughness of the blade leading edge, and does not show any relationship with the design lift coefficient.
- Patent Document 1 Even if the desired design lift coefficient is determined as in Patent Document 1 to improve the wind turbine output, and the performance degradation due to roughness can be suppressed as in Patent Document 2, there are the following problems.
- the maximum lift-drag ratio is a parameter that affects the aerodynamic performance of the blade when the wind turbine is operating at a variable speed (design point).
- the maximum lift coefficient is a parameter that affects the blade aerodynamic performance in a transition state from when the wind turbine reaches the maximum rotational speed until it reaches the rated output. Therefore, it is important for the wind turbine blade to improve both the maximum lift-drag ratio and the maximum lift coefficient.
- the wind turbine blade even if the wind turbine blade exhibits desired aerodynamic performance, if the aerodynamic noise of the wind turbine blade is not taken into consideration at the same time, the surrounding environment where the wind turbine is installed is adversely affected.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides a wind turbine blade capable of realizing a desired design lift coefficient, a wind turbine generator equipped with the wind turbine blade, and a wind turbine blade design method.

Abstract
Description
風力発電装置の発電出力は、軸端出力(翼が発生する出力)と、変換効率(軸受や発電機などの効率)との積で表される。また、軸端出力は次式で表され、翼効率が高く、翼直径が大きい翼であれば、発電量が向上する。
軸端出力=1/2×空気密度×風速3×翼効率×π×(翼直径/2)2
一方、翼直径はその自乗で出力に影響を持つため、発電量向上のためには翼直径の拡大が効果的である。しかし、翼直径の拡大は空力荷重(流入方向に作用するスラスト力および翼根に伝わるモーメント)の増大に繋がるため、ロータヘッド、ナセル、タワーなどの機器の大型化や重量増大、ひいてはコスト増に繋がる懸念・傾向がある。したがって、翼の空力荷重の増大を抑えながら長翼化する技術が必須とされる。荷重増大の問題を避けるため、空力的(翼形状的)に考えられる方法としては、コード長(翼弦長)をより短くして(即ち、アスペクト比をより大きくして、又はソリディティをより小さくして)、翼投影面積を減少させて空力荷重を低減させる手法が考えられる。
ここで、アスペクト比およびソリディティは、下式で表される。
アスペクト比=翼長2/翼投影面積 (1)
ソリディティ=全翼投影面積/翼掃過面積
=(翼枚数×平均コード長)/(π×(翼直径/2)2) (2)
Copt/R×λ2×CLdesign×r/R≒16/9×π/n (3)
ここで、Coptは最適コード長,R(翼半径)は翼直径の2分の1,λは設計周速比,CLdesignは設計揚力係数,rは翼断面の半径位置,nは翼枚数である。
設計周速比は、翼端周速/無限上流風速である。設計揚力係数は、翼型(翼断面)の揚抗比(揚力/抗力)が最大となる迎角における揚力係数であり、翼型(翼断面)の(空力)形状と流入条件(レイノルズ数)によって決まる。
図26には、本明細書にて用いるレイノルズ数の定義が示されている。同図に示されているように、風車におけるレイノルズ数は、所定の回転数で回転する翼の所定断面A-Aにおける相対風速度を考慮したものであり、下式にて表される。
レイノルズ数=空気密度×翼断面への相対風速度×翼断面のコード長/空気の粘性係数
1.設計揚力係数が高い
2.設計揚力係数の「組合せ」が最適化されている
ここで、設計揚力係数の「組合せ」とは、一つの風車翼に適用される異なる翼厚比(翼厚の最大値をコード長で除した値の百分率)からなる一連の翼型群(Airfoil series/family/set)がそれぞれ持つ設計揚力係数の組合せを言う。例えば、風車に適用される翼型の翼厚比としては、12,15,18,21,24,30,36,42%の組合せが挙げられる。
しかし、背側膨らみYSや腹側膨らみYPと設計揚力係数との関係については何ら検討されていない。
これに対して、上記特許文献1には、風車出力の観点から適切な設計揚力係数の組み合わせについて開示されているが、翼厚比が30%を超える翼根側についても設計揚力係数が1.10~1.25の範囲とされており、これではコード長が過大となり風車翼の輸送が困難となる。
したがって、翼先端領域よりも翼根側に位置する厚翼部(先端領域よりも厚翼となる部位;遷移領域から最大コード長位置にかけての領域)での空力性能の向上の余地がある。
一方、風車翼が所望の空力性能を発揮したとしても、これと同時に風車翼の空力騒音についても考慮されなければ、風車を設置した周囲環境に悪影響を及ぼすことになる。
本発明の第1の態様にかかる風車翼は、翼先端側から翼根側にかけてコード長が増大する翼本体部を備え、該翼本体部は、その先端側にて、略一定の第1設計揚力係数とされた状態で、翼根側に向けてコード長が漸次増大する翼先端領域と、翼根側の最大コード長となる位置にて、前記第1設計揚力係数よりも大きい第2設計揚力係数を有する最大コード長位置と、前記翼先端領域と前記最大コード長位置との間に位置する遷移領域と、を有し、該遷移領域の設計揚力係数は、翼先端側から翼根側に向かって、前記第1設計揚力係数から前記第2設計揚力係へと漸次増大させられていることを特徴とする。
風力を大きく受けて出力が期待できる翼先端領域では、略一定の第1設計揚力係数として、翼先端領域全体で所望の空力特性を発揮させることとした。第1設計揚力係数は、実現可能な実質的な上限値(例えば翼厚比18%程度の場合に1.15程度)として定められる。
一方、最大コード長位置では、第1設計揚力係数よりも大きい第2設計揚力係数として、最大コード長の大きさを制限することとした(上式(3)参照)。この第2設計揚力係数を適宜定めることによって、輸送上の理由等によって制限される最大コード長位置のコード長の上限値が決定される。
そして、遷移領域では、翼先端側から翼根側に向かって、第1設計揚力係数から第2設計揚力係数へと漸次増大する設計揚力係数をもたせることとした。これにより、翼先端領域から最大コード長位置までコード長を増大させる場合であっても、設計揚力係数の変化幅を小さく止めることができるので、空力性能を大きく損なうことがない。特に、従来では考慮されていなかった厚翼部(翼先端領域に比べて厚翼となる部位;遷移領域から最大コード長位置にかけての領域)においても所望の空力特性を維持することができる。
このように、本発明の風車翼は、翼先端領域、遷移領域および最大コード長位置のそれぞれに対して所望の設計揚力係数を与え、翼本体部の全体にわたって設計揚力係数の組み合わせを適切に規定することとしたので、翼根側にコード長の上限値が制限された条件下であっても、所望の空力特性を発揮させることができる。特に、翼先端領域よりも翼根側に位置する厚翼部の空力性能を向上させることができる。
なお、好ましくは、設計周速比(翼端周速/流入風速)は6以上(より好ましくは8.0以上9.0以下)、レイノルズ数は300万以上1000万以下とされる。
特に、本発明では、翼厚比とY125との組み合わせを上記のように規定することにより、翼厚比が21%から30%までの間の翼断面の設計揚力係数の変化を小さくでき、所望の空力特性を得ることができる。
また、Y125を規定することにより高い設計揚力係数を実現した細翼を提供することができ、風車翼が受ける荷重を低減することができる。これにより、風車翼を長翼化することができ、結果的に発電量を向上させることができる。
なお、好ましくは、設計周速比(翼端周速/流入風速)は6以上(より好ましくは8.0以上9.0以下)、レイノルズ数は300万以上1000万以下とされる。
特に、本発明では、翼厚比と背側膨らみとの組み合わせを上記のように規定することにより、翼厚比が21%から30%までの間の翼断面の設計揚力係数の変化を小さくでき、所望の空力特性を得ることができる。
また、背側膨らみを規定することにより高い設計揚力係数を実現した細翼を提供することができ、風車翼が受ける荷重を低減することができる。これにより、風車翼を長翼化することができ、結果的に発電量を向上させることができる。
なお、好ましくは、設計周速比(翼端周速/流入風速)は6以上(より好ましくは8.0以上9.0以下)、レイノルズ数は300万以上1000万以下とされる。
特に、本発明では、翼厚比と腹側膨らみとの組み合わせを上記のように規定することにより、翼厚比が21%から30%までの間の翼断面の設計揚力係数の変化を小さくでき、所望の空力特性を得ることができる。
また、腹側膨らみを規定することにより高い設計揚力係数を実現した細翼を提供することができ、風車翼が受ける荷重を低減することができる。これにより、風車翼を長翼化することができ、結果的に発電量を向上させることができる。
なお、好ましくは、設計周速比(翼端周速/流入風速)は6以上(より好ましくは8.0以上9.0以下)、レイノルズ数は300万以上1000万以下とされる。
なお、本発明における「伸縮」とは、所望の空力特性が得られる範囲において実質的に伸縮されていれば良い。
なお、伸縮比としては、最大翼厚をコード長で除した翼厚比の比を用いることが好ましい。
なお、翼厚分布の伸縮比としては、最大翼厚をコード長で除した翼厚比の比を用いることが好ましい。
また、各半径位置における翼型形状(翼断面形状)の前縁部にて翼厚分布をY方向に伸縮された形状として腹側形状を定めているので、所望の空力性能を発揮する風車翼を実現することができる。なお、腹側形状を示す腹面座標(翼弦位置から腹側形状までの距離)は、背側形状の背面座標(翼弦位置から背側形状までの距離)から、翼厚分布から得られる対応する翼弦位置の翼厚を減じること(背面座標-翼厚)によって得ることができる。
さらに、最大翼厚位置よりも後縁側の後縁部では、任意に腹面形状を任意に設計できるようにして、設計揚力係数の最適化を図ることができる。
翼弦方向位置X/Cが0.28以上0.32以下(より好ましくは0.29以上0.31以下)の範囲内に最大翼厚位置を設け、最大翼厚位置を前方配置(前縁側配置)とすることにより、後方配置に比べて、設計揚力係数の向上、最大揚抗比の向上、及び、翼後縁における境界層厚さの低減の傾向となる。
また、最大キャンバ位置が翼弦中央よりも前縁側に位置する前方キャンバの場合、後方キャンバに比べて、最大揚抗比の向上、及び、翼後縁における境界層厚さの低減の傾向となるが、最大揚力係数の低下の傾向となる。一方、後方キャンバの場合、最大揚力係数の向上の傾向の傾向となるが、最大揚抗比の低下の傾向となる。このように、前方キャンバと後方キャンバではトレードオフの関係になるので、前方キャンバと後方キャンバの中間となるように最大キャンバ位置を翼弦方向位置X/Cが0.45以上0.55以下となるように定めた。
以上の組み合わせにより、高性能かつ低騒音の風車翼を実現することができる。
なお、好ましくは、設計周速比(翼端周速/流入風速)は6以上(より好ましくは8.0以上9.0以下)、レイノルズ数は300万以上1000万以下とされる。
風力を大きく受けて出力が期待できる翼先端領域では、略一定の第1設計揚力係数として、翼先端領域全体で所望の空力特性を発揮させることとした。第1設計揚力係数は、実現可能な実質的な上限値(例えば翼厚比18%程度の場合に1.15程度)として定められる。
一方、最大コード長位置では、第1設計揚力係数よりも大きい第2設計揚力係数として、最大コード長の大きさを制限することとした(上式(3)参照)。この第2設計揚力係数を適宜定めることによって、輸送上の理由等によって制限される最大コード長位置のコード長の上限値が決定される。
そして、遷移領域では、翼先端側から翼根側に向かって、第1設計揚力係数から第2設計揚力係数へと漸次増大する設計揚力係数をもたせることとした。これにより、翼先端領域から最大コード長位置までコード長を増大させる場合であっても、設計揚力係数の変化幅を小さく止めることができるので、空力性能を大きく損なうことがない。特に、従来では考慮されていなかった厚翼部(翼先端領域に比べて厚翼となる部位;遷移領域から最大コード長位置にかけての領域)においても所望の空力特性を維持することができる。
このように、本発明の風車翼の設計方法によれば、翼先端領域、遷移領域および最大コード長位置のそれぞれに対して所望の設計揚力係数を与え、翼本体部の全体にわたって設計揚力係数の組み合わせを適切に規定することとしたので、翼根側にコード長の上限値が制限された条件下であっても、所望の空力特性を発揮させることができる。特に、翼先端領域よりも翼根側に位置する厚翼部の空力性能を向上させることができる。
なお、好ましくは、設計周速比(翼端周速/流入風速)は6以上(より好ましくは8.0以上9.0以下)、レイノルズ数は300万以上1000万以下とされる。
なお、伸縮比としては、最大翼厚をコード長で除した翼厚比の比を用いることが好ましい。
なお、翼厚分布の伸縮比としては、最大翼厚をコード長で除した翼厚比の比を用いることが好ましい。
また、各半径位置における翼型形状(翼断面形状)の前縁部にて翼厚分布をY方向に伸縮された形状として腹側形状を定めているので、所望の空力性能を発揮する風車翼を実現することができる。なお、腹側形状を示す腹面座標(翼弦位置から腹側形状までの距離)は、背側形状の背面座標(翼弦位置から背側形状までの距離)から、翼厚分布から得られる対応する翼弦位置の翼厚を減じること(背面座標-翼厚)によって得ることができる。
さらに、最大翼厚位置よりも後縁側の後縁部では、腹面形状を任意に設計できるようにして、設計揚力係数の最適化を図ることができる。
翼弦方向位置X/Cが0.28以上0.32以下(より好ましくは0.29以上0.31以下)の範囲内に最大翼厚位置を設け、最大翼厚位置を前方配置(前縁側配置)とすることにより、後方配置に比べて、設計揚力係数の向上、最大揚抗比の向上、及び、翼後縁における境界層厚さの低減の傾向となる。
また、最大キャンバ位置が翼弦中央よりも前縁側に位置する前方キャンバの場合、後方キャンバに比べて、最大揚抗比の向上、及び、翼後縁における境界層厚さの低減の傾向となるが、最大揚力係数の低下の傾向となる。一方、後方キャンバの場合、最大揚力係数の向上の傾向の傾向となるが、最大揚抗比の低下の傾向となる。このように、前方キャンバと後方キャンバではトレードオフの関係になるので、前方キャンバと後方キャンバの中間となるように最大キャンバ位置を翼弦方向位置X/Cが0.45以上0.55以下となるように定めた。
以上の組み合わせにより、高性能かつ低騒音の風車翼を実現することができる。
なお、好ましくは、設計周速比(翼端周速/流入風速)は6以上(より好ましくは8.0以上9.0以下)、レイノルズ数は300万以上1000万以下とされる。
〔第1実施形態〕
本実施形態にかかる風車翼は、風力発電装置の翼として好適に用いられる。風車翼は、例えば3枚設けられ、それぞれが約120°の間隔を有してロータに接続されている。好ましくは、風車翼の回転直径(翼直径)は60m以上とされ、ソリディティが0.2以上0.6以下の細長翼とされる。風車翼は、可変ピッチとされていても良いし、固定ピッチとされていても良い。
翼形状を定義する場合、同図に示されているように、各翼厚比(翼厚の最大値をコード長で除した値の百分率)の半径位置(翼の回転中心からの距離に相当する位置)においてZ(翼の長手軸方向)=一定の断面で切断した翼素断面を用いて表される。図1では、翼厚比が18%,21%,24%,30%,36%,42%の各半径位置にて切断した翼素断面が風車翼の形状の定義として用いられることが示されている。なお、風車翼1の半径位置を示す場合に、翼厚比に代えて、翼の回転中心からの距離に相当する半径位置r(あるいは半径位置を翼半径で除した無次元半径位置r/R)が用いられることもある。
図3は、風車翼1の各翼厚比における翼素断面に対して、その前縁をX=0,Y=0、後縁をX=1,Y=0で正規化したものである。同図のように表された形状を翼型という。
同図において、横軸は無次元半径、縦軸は無次元コード長を示す。無次元半径は、上述のように、回転中心からの翼断面の半径位置rを風車翼1の翼半径Rで除した値(r/R)である。ここで、翼半径とは、風車翼1が回転してその翼先端が描く軌跡円の直径(翼直径)の2分の1である。無次元コード長は、翼断面のコード長cを翼半径Rで除した値(c/R)である。
なお、図4では、設計周速比が8.0以上8.5以下、レイノルズ数が300万以上1000万以下とされている。
翼本体部3は、翼先端1b側に位置するとともに、コード長が漸次増大する翼先端領域1cと、翼根1a側に位置するとともに最大コード長となる最大コード位置1dと、翼先端領域1cと最大コード長位置1dとの間に位置する遷移領域1eとを有している。
<ステップ0>
所定の設計周速比(本実施形態では8.0以上8.5以下)の下で、所定の無次元半径では、上式(3)から、所望の設計揚力係数を満たす性能最適となる無次元コード長が与えられる。例えば、図5に示すように、無次元半径位置0.6について、所望の設計揚力係数1.15を与える無次元コード長は0.04となる。
<ステップ1>
最大コード長位置(無次元半径位置が0.2~0.3程度;本実施形態では0.24)1dのコード長は、輸送上の理由等によって所定の最大値(無次元コード長が0.065~0.085程度;本実施形態では0.08)で規定する。これにより、最大コード長位置1dにおける設計揚力係数(第2設計揚力係数)が定められる(本実施形態では1.45)となる。
<ステップ2>
翼先端付近(無次元半径位置が0.85~0.95程度)のコード長は、設計揚力係数の実質的な上限値(本実施形態では、翼厚比18%程度の薄翼とされた場合、1.15程度;第1設計揚力係数)で規定する。
<ステップ3>
ステップ1及びステップ2で定められた点を滑らかにつないだ線を設計コード長とする。より具体的には、無次元半径位置が0.5~0.95とされた翼先端領域1cでは、ステップ2で規定した設計揚力係数を維持するように、CLdesign=1.15の曲線に沿うように無次元コード長を定める。そして、無次元半径位置が0.2~0.5とされた遷移領域1eは、第1設計揚力係数(1.15)と第2設計揚力係数(1.45)との間で、翼先端側から翼根側に向かって設計揚力係数が漸次増大するように無次元コード長を定める。これにより、風車翼1の翼本体部3において、無次元半径位置と設計揚力係数の組合せが規定される。
なお、図6に示した太線は、設計コード長の中央値を示しているが、実際には所定範囲内で各無次元半径における無次元コード長が定められており、その領域は図6中の枠5内で規定される。
図7Aでは、無次元半径位置が0.5以上0.95以下とされた翼先端領域1cは、第1設計揚力係数の中央値をXとした場合に、X±0.10の範囲とされている。
無次元半径位置が(0.25±0.05)とされた最大コード長位置1dの第2設計揚力係数は、X+0.3±0.2とされている。
無次元半径位置が0.2以上(0.2を含まず)0.5未満とされた遷移領域1eは、翼先端領域1cの翼根側端部(無次元半径が0.5の位置)と最大コード長位置1dとの間の中央位置(同図では無次元半径が0.35の位置)における設計揚力係数が、X+0.15±0.15とされている。
無次元半径位置が(0.25±0.05)とされた最大コード長位置1dの第2設計揚力係数は、X+0.3±0.1とされている。
無次元半径位置が0.2以上(0.2を含まず)0.5未満とされた遷移領域1eは、翼先端領域1cの翼根側端部(無次元半径が0.5の位置)と最大コード長位置1dとの間の中央位置(同図では無次元半径が0.35の位置)における設計揚力係数が、X+0.15±0.075とされている。
無次元半径位置が(0.25±0.05)とされた最大コード長位置1dの第2設計揚力係数は、1.45±0.1とされている。
無次元半径位置が0.2以上(0.2を含まず)0.5未満とされた遷移領域1eは、翼先端領域1cの翼根側端部(無次元半径が0.5の位置)と最大コード長位置1dとの間の中央位置(同図では無次元半径が0.35の位置)における設計揚力係数が、1.30±0.075とされている。
図8Aでは、翼厚比が12%以上30以下とされた翼先端領域1cは、第1設計揚力係数の中央値をXとした場合に、X±0.10の範囲とされている。
翼厚比が42%とされた最大コード長位置1dの第2設計揚力係数は、X+0.3±0.2とされている。
翼厚比が30%以上(30%を含まず)42%未満とされた遷移領域1eは、翼先端領域1cの翼根側端部(翼厚比が30%の位置)と最大コード長位置1dとの間の中央位置(同図では翼厚比が36%の位置)における設計揚力係数が、X+0.15±0.15とされている。
翼厚比が42%とされた最大コード長位置1dの第2設計揚力係数は、X+0.3±0.1とされている。
翼厚比が30%以上(30%を含まず)42%未満とされた遷移領域1eは、翼先端領域1cの翼根側端部(翼厚比が30%の位置)と最大コード長位置1dとの間の中央位置(同図では翼厚比が36%の位置)における設計揚力係数が、X+0.15±0.075とされている。
翼厚比が42%とされた最大コード長位置1dの第2設計揚力係数は、1.45±0.1とされている。
翼厚比が30%以上(30%を含まず)42%未満とされた遷移領域1eは、翼先端領域1cの翼根側端部(翼厚比が30%の位置)と最大コード長位置1dとの間の中央位置(同図では翼厚比が36%の位置)における設計揚力係数が、1.30±0.075とされている。
具体的には、翼先端の背側のコード(翼弦)からの距離を示すY125を決定する(Y125決定ステップ)ことによって、各翼厚位置における翼型を定義する。Y125は、図9に示されているように、翼前縁のコード長位置を0%および翼後縁のコード長位置を100%とした場合の1.25%位置における翼背側のコードからの距離をコード長で除した値の百分率である。
図10A,図10B及び図10CにおけるY125は、下表のように規定される。
図10A,図10B及び図10Cに示すように、風車翼1は、各翼断面にて、上表に示した各翼厚比におけるY125を通過する補間曲線によって得られるY125を有する。
このように、各翼厚比におけるY125が定まると、風車における翼型として翼前縁から最大翼厚位置まではほぼ一義的に決定される。
図11Aから図11Eは、それぞれ、翼厚比が21%、24%、30%、36%及び42%とされた際の結果である。これらの図は、数値シミュレーションによりY125を変化させた結果得られたものである。
各図に示されているように、設計揚力係数とY125との間には強い相関関係があることが分かる。
同図には、風流入角をθ、抗力係数をCD、揚力係数をCLとして示している。
また、同図に示すように、背側の最大翼厚位置2から後縁4にかけて乱流境界層5が発達する。この乱流境界層5から吐出される境界層中の渦によって空力騒音が引き起こされる。したがって、後縁4における乱流境界層厚さDSTARを薄くすることによって空力騒音を低減することができる。
そして、翼弦方向位置X/Cが0.28以上0.32以下(より好ましくは0.29以上0.31以下)の範囲内に、最大翼厚位置2が設けられている。
また、翼弦方向位置X/Cが0.45以上0.55以下の範囲内に、キャンバが最大となる最大キャンバ位置が設けられている。
さらに、キャンバの分布が、最大キャンバ位置を中心として翼弦方向に略対称とされている。
図13Aは、風流入角θに対する揚力係数CLの変化が示されている。同図に示されているように、揚力係数CLは、風流入角θが増大するに従って増大し、最大値である最大揚力係数CLmaxを示した後に、低下する。この最大揚力係数CLmaxは、高風速域での性能向上と流入風の変動や乱れ等によって発生する失速防止に関連し、大きいほど望ましい。また、最大揚力係数CLmaxは、風車が最高回転数に達してから定格出力に達するまでの遷移状態で翼空力性能に影響を与えるパラメータである。また、同図に示されているように、設計揚力係数CLdesignは、大型風車の風車翼のような細長翼で高い性能を発揮させるために、大きな値を有することが望まれる。
キャンバ量については、ハイキャンバとした場合、設計揚力係数CLdesign、最大揚力係数CLmax及び最大揚抗比L/Dmaxが向上する傾向が見られた。
翼先端領域1c、遷移領域1eおよび最大コード長位置1dのそれぞれに対して所望の設計揚力係数を与え、翼本体部3の全体にわたって設計揚力係数の組み合わせを適切に規定することとしたので、翼根側にコード長の上限値が制限された条件下であっても、所望の空力特性を発揮させることができる。特に、翼先端領域1cよりも翼根側に位置する厚翼部(遷移領域1e及び最大コード長位置1d)の空力性能を向上させることができる。
また、設計揚力係数と相関があるY125を規定するようにしたので、所望の設計揚力係数を充足する翼形状を得ることができる。したがって、高い設計揚力係数を実現した細翼を提供することができ、風車翼が受ける荷重を低減することができる。これにより、風車翼を長翼化することができ、結果的に発電量を向上させることができる。
また、最大翼厚位置を前方配置とするとともに、最大キャンバ位置を翼弦方向中央に配置し、最大キャンバ位置を中央として翼弦方向に対称としたキャンバ分布としたので、高性能かつ低騒音の風車翼を実現することができる。
本実施形態は、第1実施形態では翼先端の背側のコード(翼弦)からの距離を示すY125を決定したのに対して、翼の背側膨らみYSを用いて翼形状を決定する点で異なる。その他の点は第1実施形態と同様なので、それらの説明は省略する。
図8Cのように所望の設計揚力係数が各翼厚位置(または半径位置)で決定された(設計揚力係数決定ステップ)後に、この設計揚力係数を実現する風車翼1の形状の規定の方法について説明する。
具体的には、翼の背側膨らみYSを決定する(YS決定ステップ)ことによって、各翼厚位置における翼型を定義する。YSは、図16に示されているように、最大翼厚位置における翼背側のコード(翼弦)からの距離をコード長で除した値の百分率である。
図17A、図17B及び図17CにおけるYSは、下表のように規定される。
図17A、図17B及び図17Cに示すように、風車翼1は、各翼断面にて、上表に示した各翼厚比における背側膨らみYSを通過する補間曲線によって得られる背側膨らみYSを有する。
図18Aから図18Eは、それぞれ、翼厚比が21%、24%、30%、36%及び42%とされた際の結果である。これらの図は、数値シミュレーションにより背側膨らみYSを変化させた結果得られたものである。
各図に示されているように、設計揚力係数と背側膨らみYSとの間には強い相関関係があることが分かる。
設計揚力係数と相関がある背側膨らみYSを規定するようにしたので、所望の設計揚力係数を充足する翼形状を得ることができる。したがって、高い設計揚力係数を実現した細翼を提供することができ、風車翼が受ける荷重を低減することができる。これにより、風車翼を長翼化することができ、結果的に発電量を向上させることができる。
本実施形態は,第2実施形態では背側膨らみYSを用いて翼形状を決定したのに対して、腹側膨らみYPを用いて翼形状を決定する点で異なる。その他の点は第1実施形態と同様なので、それらの説明は省略する。
具体的には、翼の腹側膨らみYPを決定する(YP決定ステップ)ことによって、各翼厚位置における翼型を定義する。YPは、図16に示されているように、最大翼厚位置における翼腹側のコード(翼弦)からの距離をコード長で除した値の百分率である。
図19A,図19B及び図19CにおけるYPは、下表のように規定される。
図19A,図19B及び図19Cに示すように、風車翼1は、各翼断面にて、上表に示した各翼厚比における腹側膨らみYPを通過する補間曲線によって得られる腹側膨らみYPを有する。
図20Aから図20Eは、それぞれ、翼厚比が21%、24%、30%、36%及び42%とされた際の結果である。これらの図は、数値シミュレーションにより腹側膨らみYPを変化させた結果得られたものである。
各図に示されているように、設計揚力係数と腹側膨らみYPとの間には強い相関関係があることが分かる。
設計揚力係数と相関がある背側膨らみYSを規定するようにしたので、所望の設計揚力係数を充足する翼形状を得ることができる。したがって、高い設計揚力係数を実現した細翼を提供することができ、風車翼が受ける荷重を低減することができる。これにより、風車翼を長翼化することができ、結果的に発電量を向上させることができる。
図21Aに示すように、A翼は比較対象となる基準翼であり、翼先端における設計揚力係数を0.8程度とし、翼長(半径)方向に設計揚力係数を最適化していないものであり、B翼は、A翼に対して設計揚力係数を40%高めたものであり、C翼は、本実施形態に相当し、B翼に対してさらに設計揚力係数を翼長(半径)方向に最適化したものである。
B翼のように設計揚力係数を高めると、図21Bのように最適コード長を30%低減することができ、これにより、図21Cのように翼直径を7%延伸することができ(回転数一定を仮定)、結果として図21Dのように発電量が6.5%増大される。そして、C翼は、設計揚力係数を翼長方向に最適化しているので、B翼よりもさら翼効率が2%改善し、図21Dのように発電量がB翼よりもさらに1%(A翼に対して7.5%)増大される。
また、上述の各実施形態では、設計周速比を8.0以上8.5以下としたが、本発明はこれに限定されず、例えば設計周速比が6.0以上9.0以下であっても適用することができる。
また、翼先端領域1c、遷移領域1eおよび最大コード長位置は、本実施形態に示された無次元半径位置や翼厚比の範囲に限定されるものではなく、本発明の効果を奏する範囲において適宜変更することができる。
本実施形態は、背側形状や翼厚分布を各半径位置(各翼厚比)にてY方向に伸縮された形状となるように決定した点で、上述の実施形態と異なる。その他の点は第1実施形態と同様なので、それらの説明は省略する。
図8Cのように所望の設計揚力係数が各翼厚位置(または半径位置)で決定された後に、この設計揚力係数を実現する風車翼1の形状の規定の方法について説明する。本実施形態では、特に、略同一の設計揚力係数を有するように各翼厚位置の翼型形状(翼断面形状)を定義する際に有効である。
翼本体部3の各翼厚位置(半径位置)における翼型形状(翼断面形状)を、その背側形状がY方向に伸縮された形状となるように規定する。この背側形状の決定方法が図22に示されている。図22において、横軸は、前縁からの距離をコード長Cで除して正規化した翼弦方向位置X/Cであり、縦軸は、翼弦線(横軸)からの距離をコード長Cで除して正規化した座標Yuである。なお、後述する図23乃至図25についても、図22と同様に、コード長Cで除して正規化された座標系とされている。
図22に示すように、背面座標(翼弦位置から背側形状までの距離)Yu1によって規定される背側形状を基準背側形状とした場合、異なる翼厚位置における第2背面形状は背面座標Yu2を用いて下式のように表される。
Yu2=r×Yu1 (4)
上式において、rは伸縮比であり、任意に与えることができる。
このように、各翼厚位置における翼型形状(翼断面形状)の背側形状がY方向に伸縮された形状とされているので、各翼厚位置にて基準背面形状と同等の空力性能を発揮する翼形状を定義することができる。
図23には、翼厚分布の決定方法が示されている。
具体的には、翼本体部3の各翼厚位置(半径位置)における翼型形状(翼断面形状)を、その翼厚分布がY方向に伸縮された形状となるように規定する。すなわち、図23に示すように、翼弦位置(X/C)に対応する翼厚YT1によって規定される翼厚分布を基準翼厚分布とした場合、異なる翼厚位置における第2翼厚分布は翼厚YT2を用いて下式のように表される。
YT2=YT1×(xx2/xx1) (5)
上式において、(xx2/xx1)は伸縮比であり、基準翼厚分布の翼厚比xx1に対する第2翼厚分布の翼厚比xx2の比が好意的に用いられる。
このように、各翼厚位置における翼型形状(翼断面形状)の翼厚分布がY方向に伸縮された形状とされているので、各翼厚位置にて基準翼厚分布と同等の空力性能を発揮する翼形状を定義することができる。
図24には、翼型形状(翼断面形状)の腹側形状の決定方法が示されている。
翼前縁から最大翼厚位置(Max thick)までの前縁部は、上述した式(4)及び式(5)によって決定された背面形状Yuおよび翼厚分布YTから、腹側形状を決定する。具体的には、腹側形状の腹面座標をYLとした場合、腹面形状は下式によって表される。
YL=Yu-YT (6)
このように、背面形状がY方向に伸縮された形状とされるとともに、前縁部では背面形状だけでなく翼厚分布もY方向に伸縮された形状とされるので、各翼厚位置にて基準背面形状と同等の空力性能を発揮する翼形状を定義することができる。
さらに、翼厚最大位置から翼後縁にかけての後縁部における腹側形状は、上式(6)によって得られる腹側形状を用いてもよい。
具体的には、調整後の腹側形状の腹面座標をYL3、基準腹側形状の腹面座標をYL2、調整量をYsとすると、下式のように表される。
YL3=YL2+Ys (7)
このように、翼後縁部の腹面形状を任意に設定できるようにしておくことで、設計揚力係数の最適化を図ることができる。
Ys=(xx/100)×s×(x-1.0)2(x-0.4)2/(0.32) (8)
上式のように調整量を与えることとすれば、簡便に調整量Ysを得ることができるので、容易に所望の腹側形状を得ることができる。
また、翼型形状(翼断面形状)がY方向に伸縮された形状とされた風車翼を与えることができるので、翼形状の連続性が向上し、翼製作時の歩留まりを向上させることができる。
