Über dieses Buch

The book presents a state-of-the-art in environmental aerodynamics and the structural design of wind energy support structures, particularly from a modern computational perspective. Examples include real-life applications dealing with pollutant dispersion in the building environment, pedestrian-level winds, comfort levels, relevant legislation and remedial measures. Design methodologies for wind energy structures include reliability assessment and code frameworks.

Introduction to Environmental Aerodynamics

Abstract

A brief introduction to environmental aerodynamics, as part of wind engineering is provided. Of particular interest are the areas of pedestrian level winds and exhaust dispersion around buildings, which are introduced and discussed in the context of urban environment aerodynamics.

Theodore Stathopoulos

Applications of Environmental Aerodynamics

Abstract

Applications of environmental aerodynamics, namely pedestrian level winds and dispersion of pollutants in the building environment, are discussed with particular emphasis to suitable engineering design issues and practices. Both experimental and computational approaches are presented with reference to particular case studies.

Computational Wind Engineering: Theory and Applications

Abstract

Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) is the application of computational methods to Wind Engineering problems. While CWE is more than Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) alone, CFD has so far constituted the major part of CWE.

Aero-Servo-Elastic Design of Wind Turbines: Numerical and Wind Tunnel Modeling Contribution

Abstract

The main purpose of this contribution is to provide a basic understanding of the fundamental interaction mechanism between the wind flow and the wind turbine, responsible for the power generation, as well as for the aerodynamic and inertial loading of the machine. A specific focus will be given at this proposal to the role of the control laws by which the turbine is operated, in determining both the performance as well as the structural loading of the machinery.

Support Structures of Wind Energy Converters

Abstract

The wind energy market is one of the most promising markets of renewable energies. Besides biomass, photovoltaic, geothermal, and ocean energy especially the offshore wind energy will deliver the biggest part in renewable electricity. Regarding National and European demands for 2030, 25% of the required electricity will result from renewables. The biggest player will be the wind energy. To reach this aim a significant installation of offshore and onshore wind energy turbines is necessary. Figure 1 shows the estimated annual installation and cumulated capacity of onshore and offshore wind energy in Europe.

Topics on the design of tubular steel wind turbine towers

Abstract

The wind turbine tower is mainly a simple cantiliver beam. However, its section forms a thin-walled cylindrical shell and therefore, several issues arise during the analysis such as the local buckling of the shell structure or the stress concentrations around the door opening which must be thoroughly examined. The design is governed by the extreme wind loading; earthquake loading should also be taken into account when designing the turbine tower on seismic hazardous areas.

Large wind turbines in earthquake areas: structural analyses, design/construction & in-situ testing

Abstract

The Wind Energy Roadmap for the European Union was published by the European Commission on Oct. 7th, 2009, in the framework of its Communication of Financing Low Carbon Technologies. Following its publication, the roadmap was officially presented and discussed at the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) workshop, held in Stockholm on October 21st and 22nd 2009, and organised by the European Commission and the Swedish Energy Agency.
