UAE6 - Wind Tunnel Tests Data - UAE6 - Sequence 7 - Raw Data

Sequence 7: Shroud Operating (P) This test sequence used a downwind, rigid turbine with a 3.4° cone angle. The wind speed ranged from 5 m/s to 25 m/s. Turntable angles from 0° to 30° were achieved, but the yaw error angle was maintained at 0° by adjusting the nacelle yaw. The blade tip pitch was 3°. The rotor rotated at 72 RPM. Blade and probe pressure measurements were collected. The teeter dampers were replaced with rigid links, and these two channels were flagged as not applicable by setting the measured values in the data file to –99999.99 Nm. The teeter link load cell was pre-tensioned to 40,000 N. An airfoil-shaped aluminum shroud was placed on the tower below the 34% span five-hole probe. It extended below the 91% span five-hole probe. The turntable angle was adjusted to position the shroud at various angles relative to the flow, but the turbine yaw error angle was maintained at 0°. Two additional points were collected where the turntable angle was 0°, and the turbine yaw angle was 20° (71000200) or -20° (710M0200).

UAE6 - Wind Tunnel Tests Data - UAE6 - Sequence H - Raw Data

Sequences H, I, and J: Upwind Baseline (F), Upwind Low Pitch (F), Upwind High Pitch (F) This test sequence used an upwind, rigid turbine with a 0° cone angle. The wind speed ranged from 5 m/s to 25 m/s. Yaw angles of –30 to 180° were achieved at low wind speeds, and angles of ±10° were achieved for high wind speeds. The blade tip pitch was 3° for sequence H, 0° for sequence I, and 6° for sequence J. These three sequences were interleaved during testing because the pitch angle change was easily made by the turbine operator. The rotor rotated at 72 RPM. Blade and probe pressure measurements were collected. The teeter dampers were replaced with rigid links, and these two channels were flagged as not applicable by setting the measured values in the data file to –99999.99 Nm. The teeter link load cell was pretensioned to 40,000 N. In addition to the standard 30-second campaigns, yaw sweeps were done at 7 m/s and 10 m/s. These 6-minute campaigns were collected while the yaw drive rotated the turbine 360° at a rate of 1°/s. The file names for these campaigns use the letter designation, followed by two digits for wind speed, followed by YS, followed by 000.

UAE6 - Wind Tunnel Tests Data - UAE6 - Sequence L - Raw Data

Sequence L: Step AOA, Parked (P) This sequence was designed to quantify the 3-D blade static angle-of-attack response in the absence of rotational influences by varying the blade pitch angle. This test sequence used an upwind, rigid turbine with a 0° cone angle. Wind speeds of 20 m/s and 30 m/s were used, and all data were collected at a yaw angle of 0°. The rotor was parked with the instrumented blade fixed at 0° azimuth, and the rotor lock was installed (see Appendix A). Blade and probe pressure measurements were collected. The teeter dampers were replaced with rigid links, and these two channels were flagged as not applicable by setting the measured values in the data file to -99999.99 Nm. The teeter link load cell was pre-tensioned to 40,000 N. The blade pitch angle ramped continuously at 0.18°/s over a wide range of increasing and decreasing pitch angles. A step sequence was also performed. The blade pitch was stepped 5°, the flow was allowed to stabilize, and the pitch angle was held for 8 seconds. Then the pitch angle step was repeated. Again, a wide range of pitch angles was obtained, both increasing and decreasing. The file lengths for this sequence varied from 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the pitch angle range. The file name convention used the initial letter L followed by two digits specifying wind speed, followed by 00 for yaw angle, followed by RU, RD, or ST, followed by the repetition digit. The angle-of-attack motion was differentiated by RU (ramp up), RD (ramp down), and ST (step down, then step up). This sequence is related to sequences K and R.

The blade tip pitch was 3°. The rotor rotated at 72 RPM. Blade pressure measurements were collected. The five-hole probes were removed and the plugs were installed. Plastic tape 0.03-mm-thick was used to smooth the interface between the plugs and the blade. The teeter dampers were replaced with rigid links, and these two channels were flagged as not applicable by setting the measured values in the data file to –99999.99 Nm. The teeter link load cell was pre-tensioned to 40,000 N. During post-processing, the probe channels were set to read –99999.99. Zigzag tape was installed near the leading edge of the instrumented blade on both the upper and lower surfaces as described in Appendix K. In addition to the standard 30-second campaigns, yaw sweeps were done at 7 m/s and 10 m/s. These 90-second campaigns were collected while the yaw drive rotated the turbine 90° at a rate of 1°/s. The file names for these campaigns use the letter designation, followed by two digits for wind speed, followed by YSU, followed by 00.

UAE6 - Wind Tunnel Tests Data - UAE6 - Sequence N - Raw Data

Sequence N: Sin AOA, Rotating (P) This sequence was designed to quantify the blade 3-D unsteady aerodynamic response in the presence of rotational influences by varying blade pitch angle. Test sequence N used an upwind, rigid turbine with a 0° cone angle. The wind speed was 15 m/s, and the yaw angle was 0° throughout the sequence. The rotor rotated at 72 RPM. Blade and probe pressure measurements were collected. The teeter dampers were replaced with rigid links, and these two channels were flagged as not applicable by setting the measured values in the data file to –99999.99 Nm. The teeter link load cell was pre-tensioned to 40,000 N. Sinusoidal angle-of-attack histories were designed to emulate 2-D S809 dynamic data obtained at the Ohio State University (OSU) wind tunnel (Reuss Ramsey et al. 1995) and the 1P yawed flow angle-of-attack variations the turbine could be expected to encounter in routine operation. The reduced frequency (K), mean angle of attack (αm), and oscillation amplitude (αω) were computed for each of the five primary span locations. The file lengths varied according to the time required to complete 40 oscillations at the specified frequency. The file name convention used the sequence designation N, followed by two digits for the span location (30, 47, 63, 80, or 95), followed by two digits representing the condition specified in the test matrix, followed by the repetition digit. Due to time constraints, most of the test conditions corresponding to the 63% span location were eliminated. Test points with a static pitch angle of 3° were collected throughout the sequence to ascertain instrumentation fidelity.

Again, a wide range of pitch angles was obtained, both increasing and decreasing. The file lengths for this sequence varied from 96 seconds to 6 minutes, depending on the pitch angle range. Some short points were collected at 0° yaw and 3° pitch to ascertain the functionality of the instrumentation and repeatability over time. The file name convention used the initial letter R, followed by two digits specifying wind speed, followed by two digits for yaw angle, followed by RU, RD, or ST, followed by the repetition digit.

The teeter link load cell was pre-tensioned to 40,000 N. During post-processing, the probe channels were set to read -99999.99. The standard tip blocks were replaced with a tip plate to simulate the effect of an undeployed tip-mounted aerodynamic brake as shown in Appendix A. Note that the blade radius was not changed during post-processing so the pressure tap locations are at the same radial location, but the reference to 30% represents 30% of 5.029 m, not 4.943 m. Throughout this report, references to the blade span are made for the 5.029- m radius, not the 4.943-m radius.
