The Effect of Mass and Web Spacing on the Loads and Structural Response of Increasing Wind Turbine Blade Size

The research presented considers the effect of varying shear web spacing and mass for two blades; a61.5m 5MW blade (based on the NREL5MW reference turbine) and a 100m 13.2MW blade (based onthe SNL100 blade). The variations are analyzed using HAWC2 aeroelastic simulations and Abaqus/CAE finite elemen...
