Durability and Damage Tolerance Analysis Approaches for Wind Turbine Blade Trailing Edge Life Prediction: A Technical Review

https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/16/24/7934

permission is required to reuse all or part of the article published by MDPI, including figures and tables. In this paper, we discuss the application of durability and damage tolerance analysis (DADTA) approaches to trailing edge service life prediction. DADTA is mandated in the aerospace sector to support airworthiness certification and to provide an updated life prediction of the structure based on the different stages of their service life. The current paper provides an extensive review of these methods and shows how these can be applied to the wind turbine blade industry, specifically for predicting the structural design life of the trailing edge of composite wind turbine blades. The review includes (a) defining wind turbine trailing edge failure modes, (b) trailing edge design procedures, and (c) a detailed discussion of the application of durability and damage tolerance analysis for trailing edge life prediction.

SANDIA REPORT SAND2008-0983 Unlimited Release Printed February 2008 Wind Turbine Reliability: A Database and Analysis Approach Roger R. Benjamin and James Linsday, ARES Corporation Prepared by Sandia National Laboratories Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185 and Livermore, California 94550 Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under Contract DE-AC04-94AL85000. 2 Issued by Sandia National Laboratories, operated for the United States Department of Energy by Sandia Corporation. loc=7-4-0#online 3 Wind Turbine Reliability: A Database and Analysis Approach Roger R. This report addresses how operations and maintenance costs are related to unreliability—that is the failures experienced by systems and components. Reliability tools are demonstrated, data needed to understand and catalog failure events is described, and practical wind turbine reliability models are illustrated, including preliminary results. This report also presents a continuing process of how to proceed with controlling industry requirements, needs, and expectations related to Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety.
