  • the rotor shaft drives a generator arrangement disposed in a nacelle located adjacent to the rotor hub.

  • An environmental wind vector may be the same at the base and at the tip of the blade, and it may be perpendicular to the plane of rotation. However, a vector of the rotational relative wind increases in magnitude from the base to the tip of the blade, while the direction is parallel to the plane of rotation.
  • the relative wind vector for each point changes from being closer to perpendicular to the plane of rotation at the base of the blade to being closer to parallel to the plane of rotation at the tip of the blade.
  • the change in orientation may be up to 30 degrees, depending on the blade design. Changes in orientation up to 45 degrees are currently envisioned.
  • the twisted web disclosed herein can accommodate any amount of change in orientation.
  • Wind turbine blades use forces created by the relative wind to drive the rotation of the blade about the rotor hub. As the relative wind reaches the blade some of it encounters a pressure side of the blade to create a pressure side aerodynamic force that can be seen as acting normal to the pressure side of the blade. Some of the relative wind is directed around the blade along a suction side. This suction side relative wind travels faster than the pressure side relative wind, and this velocity difference creates a suction side aerodynamic force that can be seen as acting normal to the suction side of the blade.
  • the pressure side aerodynamic force and the suction side aerodynamic force each have a force component parallel to the plane of rotation (a rotational component) and a force component perpendicular to the plane of rotation.
  • certain blade designs incorporate a structural spar.
  • the spas is shaped similar to an l-bean, and may have a pressure side spar cap, a suction side spar cap, and a spar web securing and holding the spar caps in a spaced apart relationship.
  • the spar adds strength and rigidity, but also adds weight to the blade.
  • a spar is installed in a blade from base to tip, and at all locations from the base to the tip the spar web maintains a same angle with the plane of rotation. In other words, the spar is a planar member.
  • weight and stiffness are of growing concern. Consequently, there remains room in the art for improvement.
  • a wind turbine blade having a unique structural spar has a spar web that twists within the blade, from a base of the blade to a tip of the blade.
  • an orientation of the web can be selected as an independent design variable for the first time.
  • the orientation of the spar web may be selected in a manner that best resists deflection of the blade induced by aerodynamic forces acting at that given location.
  • rotational forces within the plane of rotation
  • deflection forces toward the tower, perpendicular to the plane of rotation
  • the spar can be oriented nearly parallel to the direction of rotation to resist rotational forces, and at the tip of the blade it can be oriented nearly perpendicular to the plane of rotation to resist tower deflection.
  • the structural spar may be made lighter.
  • the lighter structural spar may have lighter spar caps. Lighter spar caps allows for increased torsional flexibility which decouples the tower stiffness from a twist stiffness. Therefore, for the given blade, the present invention would allow for a comparable stiff blade that would have a lighter spar, and reduced torsional rigidity.
  • the reduced torsional rigidity would allow the blade to torsionally flex (twist) in relatively strong winds. Such a characteristic is desirable as it allows the blade to become aeroelastic.
  • the twist of an aeroelastic blade during high winds allows it to decrease an angle of attack of the blade with respect to the relative wind, and this reduces transient stresses on the blade.

  • the present inventor has recognized that blade design has evolved from designing blades of sufficient strength to designing blades of stiffness sufficient to prevent the blade from colliding with the tower support.
  • the present inventor has also recognized that local forces change from a base of the blade to a tip of the blade. In particular, at the base of the blade rotational forces (within a plane of rotation) have "accumulated" from the tip to the blade to the base, while tower deflection forces (toward the tower) are negligible.
  • a skin of the blade is very robust at the blade and can withstand the deflection forces itself, but may need the assistance of a structural spar to handle the rotational forces.
  • Blade rigidity comes primarily from the structural spar incorporated into the blade.
  • the present inventor has devised a unique way to orient the spar by twisting it in a radial direction so that it may be aligned with local forces that would induce deflection. Specifically, at the base the web would be oriented nearly parallel to the plane of rotation in order to resist rotational forces, and at the tip it would be oriented nearly perpendicular to the plane of rotation to resist tower deflection. This allows for a structural spar of reduced strength and weight, because a greater percentage of its existing strength is being used in each radial location. However, since structural spars have evolved to be stronger than needed, (as opposed to stiffer), the proposed structural spar of reduced strength and weight will be sufficient. The reduced strength and weight allow for greater torsional flexibility (twisting), and thus the blade may have superior aeroelastic properties, including aeroelastic deformation (twist) during high wind loading.

It can be seen that the blade twists such that at the base 12 the leading edge 30 is oriented almost directly into environmental wind traveling in an environmental wind vector 34. Toward the tip 32 the leading edge 30 turns such that it is pointed nearly perpendicular to the environmental wind vector 34.
  • the twist rotates in a clockwise direction 36.
  • the blade 10 rotates in a clockwise direction of blade rotation 38 about an axis of rotation 40. Any given point on the blade 10 therefore defines a respective plane of rotation (not shown).

It can be seen that the net aerodynamic force in-plane component 1 12 is much greater than the net aerodynamic force tower component 1 10 at the base 12.
  • a shell 1 14 of the base 12 is also more substantial structurally. Consequently, at the base 12 the resistance to the net aerodynamic force in-plane component 1 12 is of high importance, while tower deflection 50 is of little concern.

  • FIG. 6 is the same cross section as FIG. 4, with the spar 120 disclosed herein. Similar to the prior art, there is the net aerodynamic force vector 106 that acts on the center 78. However, unlike the prior art, the spar web 122 at the tip 32 forms a second angle 130 with the plane of rotation 80, where the second angle 130 is different than the first angle 82 at the base 12. In the exemplary embodiment shown the spar web 122 at the tip 32 does not exactly align with the net aerodynamic force vector 106 at the tip 32, but it is exactly perpendicular to the plane of rotation 80. Instead, the spar web 122 forms an alignment angle 132 with the net aerodynamic force vector 106 which may be within 45 degrees of the net aerodynamic force vector 106.
  • the spar web 122 may offer little resistance to in-plane force, but it will offer maximum resistance to tower deflection 50. Since tower deflection 50 is so importance at the tip 32, and in- plane resistance is such a small concern at the tip 32, this configuration may be a good match of the spar web's strength to the needs of the top 32 of the blade.
  • the second angle 130 may be greater than 45 degrees to most effectively resist deflection in the plane of rotation 80.
  • the spar web 122 at the base 12 may exactly align with the net aerodynamic force vector 106. This may provide maximum resistance to the net aerodynamic force vector 106, but may offer slightly less in-plane resistance.
  • the spar web 122 at the tip 32 may exactly align with the net aerodynamic force vector 106, such that the alignment angle 132 between the spar web 122 and the net aerodynamic force vector 106 is zero. This provides a maximum resistance to deflection induced by the net aerodynamic force vector 106 that has been designed for at that location. However, it may permit minimal tower deflection 50 should force vectors change. With the spar web 122 disclosed herein, a greater portion of the spar web's strength will still be applied locally as needed. This allows rigidity to be treated as in independent design factor, which has not previously occurred.

  • a local geometry of the blade cross section may require or suggest adjustments. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the spar web 122 has been shifted closer to the leading edge 30. As a result of this shift, and the local blade geometry, an average length 140 of the spar web 122 between the pressure side spar cap 74 and the suction side spar cap 76 may be longer than if the spar web 122 were positioned as in FIG. 8, over the center 78.
  • the average length as used herein accounts for angled ends of the spar web 122 due to the angled spar caps.
  • an additional amount of strength gained by lengthening the spar web 122 may make up for a slight misalignment with whichever direction the spar web's 122 strength is needed.
  • the spar web 122 can be rotated so that it does not exactly align with the net aerodynamic force vector 106, or with whichever direction the spar web's 122 strength is needed, for the same reason.
  • a different second angle 130 may be used than the second angle 130 of FIG. 8.
  • Other forces may be considered not discussed herein but known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
  • Each cross section may be looked at and an orientation of the spar web 122 may be optimized for each cross section when all factors are considered.
  • One way to optimize the average length 140 of the spar web 122 may be to determine a tangent line 150 of the leading edge 30, and then draw a pressure side line 152 perpendicular (i.e. at a right angle) to the tangent line 150 and determine a pressure side tangent point 154 where the pressure side line 152 contacts the pressure side 44. Then drawing a suction side line 156 perpendicular to the tangent line 150 and determine a suction side tangent point 158 where the suction side line 156 contacts the suction side 46.
  • a suggested spar web line 160 connecting the pressure side tangent point 154 and the suction side tangent point 158 may reveal a spar web orientation that yields a greatest average length 140 of the spar web for that local blade geometry, and the greatest average length 40 may provide a desired design choice.
  • a resulting spar web 122 may twist at a smooth, constant rate from base to tip
  • smooth means not abrupt changes in twist direction, such as may occur if a spar web were cut into a radially inner piece and a radially outer piece, and one piece were rotated any amount, and then the two were rejoined.
  • the inventor has devised an innovative way to decouple the blades rigidity requirement, the strength requirement, and the torsional rigidity requirement from each other, by using a structural spar that can be twisted to accommodate local forces. Since the blade depends on the spar for to supply structural strength in different directions for different reasons at differing location, the twisted spar can be tailored to provide much more of its available strength exactly as needed for any given location within the blade. This permits a lighter spar for a given rigidity requirement, and this lighter spar still meets the blade's strength requirement, while permitting greater torsional flexibility. The greater torsional flexibility enables a more aeroelastic blade, and a more aeroelastic blade may have a longer service life. Consequently, this spar represents an improvement in the art.
