Project Description
Development of triple rotor blade wind turbine:
• 10-100 kW range• Choose blade design• Use active profile control• Choose shape memory alloy (SMA)• Compare efficiency of new model with
current designs

Tasks to Be Performed
• Literature search (√)
• Development of design (√)
• Calculations
• Construction of models
• Testing and analysis

Current Blades
• Made out of graphite coated with epoxy• Lightweight• Somewhat flexible• Can be up to 60 meters long• Over time/due to strong gusts, can be
damaged (blade fatigue)– Blades stall– Wind turbine loses efficiency

Active Control - SMA
• Wind still deforms blade
• Strain gauges attached to blades
• Heating via resistor coils will occur when strain reaches certain level
• SMA blades would go back to original shape

Active Control – Pitch Control
• Default pitch: about 5°
• Wind speed measured by anemometer
• Pitch can be changed for optimal power output for given wind speed

Critical Temperature -50 to 110 deg. C -140 to 100 deg. C <120 deg. C
Density approx. 6.45 g/cc approx 7.64 g/cc approx 7.12 g/cc
Hysteresis (deg. C) approx. 30 deg. C approx 35 deg. C 15-25 deg. C
Problems
High reactivity of Ti during preparation (can be averted by preparing in inert atmosphere); high hysteresis (can be lowered by adding Cu); expensive
As ages, loses shape memory properties; can't withstand prolonged high temperatures; after long time as martensite, has aging induced martensite stabilization effect
Needs solution heat treatment to retain shape memory, which can lead to Zn evaporation; As ages, loses shape memory properties; can't withstand prolonged high temperatures; after long time as martensite, has aging induced martensite stabilization effect
Pros Large pseudoelasticity, can be reused thousands of times, stronger than other SMAs

Pros and Cons of SMA Blades
• Pros– Lasts longer than current blades– More efficient over time
• Cons– More expensive– About 3x heavier (this can partially be avoided
by only making the “skin” of the airfoil out of SMA)

Calculations
• Power Output– Defined by ½*CpρAV3
• Cp is the power coefficient (maximum is about .593 according to Betz limit)
• ρ is the air density
• A is the area swept by the wind turbine’s blades
• V is the wind velocity
