This paper describes structural analysis of a large composite wind turbine blade under extreme loading. These extreme loading can cause damage and significant drop in the load-carrying ability of large composite wind turbine blades. In this study first, a three-dimensional (3D) surface model of the blade is generated using NuMAD (Numerical Manufacturing and Design), which greatly simplifies the 3D model generation of a wind turbine blade, and effectively handles all information of blade airfoils, material properties and their geometrical configuration. The blade model is then evaluated for its ability to withstand the extreme loading conditions as specified in the relevant standards using finite element analysis (FEA) software ANSYS.

Structural Dynamics Analysis and Model Validation of Wind Turbine Structures D. Todd Griffith* Sandia National Laboratories†, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185 The focus of this paper is the development of validated structural models of wind turbine structures and their substructures. A typical modern wind turbine is a large structure composed of a single tower, a nacelle located atop the tower which houses the drive train mechanical components, and three rotor blades. In very broad terms, a wind turbine design team must consider the dynamic response of the full system in the design process along with detailed design for each individual substructure. Blades are a critical substructure of a wind turbine as they carry large loads in capturing the energy from the wind, and must be designed to maximize performance and reliability while minimizing their cost. First, we discuss the structural dynamics analyses that are performed to design a modern wind turbine structure. Results from recent tests and validation of models for these blades will be presented.
