Pressure Based Load Measurement

View page
US Patent:
8137066, Mar 20, 2012
Filed:
Apr 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/424617
Inventors:
Edward A. Mayda - Roseville CA, US
Assignee:
Frontier Wind, LLC - West Conshohocken PA
International Classification:
F01D 5/14
US Classification:
416 42, 244203
Abstract:
A system and method for a pressure based load measurement system are provided. The system includes two pressure orifices arranged on a top surface and a bottom surface of an airfoil. The pressure differential between these two points is determined and an estimate of the aerodynamic load generated by the airfoil is determined from a linear correlation between pressure differential and load. The location of the orifices may be optimized using analytical or experimental techniques and a least squares empirical curve fit may be used to fit the data collected.

Wind Turbine With Deployable Air Deflectors

View page
US Patent:
8192161, Jun 5, 2012
Filed:
May 12, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/464447
Inventors:
Jonathon P. Baker - Davis CA, US
Kevin Lee Jackson - Winters CA, US
Edward A. Mayda - Roseville CA, US
Cornelis P. van Dam - Davis CA, US
Assignee:
Frontier Wind, LLC. - West Conshohocken PA
International Classification:
F03B 3/12
US Classification:
416 23
Abstract:
An apparatus and system for compensating for various load situations in a turbine includes the use of one or more deployable devices configured to extend an air deflector outwardly from a surface of a rotor blade. The air deflector may subsequently be retracted into the rotor blade once the load falls below a certain threshold. Mechanisms for extending and retracting the air deflector may include pneumatic, hydraulic and/or electromechanical devices. Air deflectors are generally configured to modify the air flow around the rotor blade to increase or decrease power generation, or reduce loads so that the risk of potential damage to components of the wind turbine is minimized. Deflectors may be positioned at various chordwise stations including leading-edge, mid-chord, and trailing-edge locations on the upper and lower surfaces at spanwise positions. Accordingly, a plurality of devices can be actuated to aerodynamically control rotor performance and loads based on wind conditions.

Method And Apparatus For Automatically Generating Airfoil Performance Tables

View page
US Patent:
20050246110, Nov 3, 2005
Filed:
Dec 2, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/004716
Inventors:
Cornelis van Dam - Davis CA, US
Edward Mayda - Davis CA, US
Roger Strawn - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
G01F001/00
US Classification:
702045000
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates automatically generating a performance table for an object, wherein the object is subject to fluid flow. The system operates by first receiving a description of the object and testing parameters for the object. The system executes a flow solver using the testing parameters and the description of the object to produce an output. Next, the system determines if the output of the flow solver indicates negative density or pressure. If not, the system analyzes the output to determine if the output is converging. If converging, the system writes the output to the performance table for the object.

Wind Turbine Load Mitigation Device And Port Configuration

View page
US Patent:
20120243989, Sep 27, 2012
Filed:
Mar 25, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/072015
Inventors:
Edward A. Mayda - Lafayette CO, US
Jonathon P. Baker - Davis CA, US
Leigh Zalusky - Vacaville CA, US
Thomas Jay Green - Roseville CA, US
Assignee:
FRONTIER WIND, LLC - West Conshohocken PA
International Classification:
F01D 25/00
US Classification:
416 1, 416 61
Abstract:
An active sensing system for wind turbines is described. The sensing system may include a plurality of ports, a local sensing device and a load mitigation device and may be operably coupled to a control system. The plurality of ports, local sensing device, and load mitigation device may be operably coupled and configured to monitor air pressure on wind turbine blades, determine if proper sensing operation is occurring, and eradicate an obstruction if proper sensing operation is being prevented by the obstruction. Associated methods performing the sensing and eradication of the obstruction including purging and deicing are disclosed. Wind turbines and wind turbine blades with the active sensing system are also described.

Hybrid Solid-Inflatable Mandrel For Blade Manufacturing

View page
US Patent:
20160354968, Dec 8, 2016
Filed:
Jun 8, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/733077
Inventors:
- München, DE
Edward A. Mayda - Thornton CO, US
International Classification:
B29C 53/02
Abstract:
A mandrel () defines a void geometry in a layup for a blade shell () via a rigid mandrel core () and a plurality of expandable bladders (A-F, A-F) attached adjacently to each other in sequence around a periphery of the core, forming an expandable outer cover on the mandrel. The bladders are controllably expandable (B, ) individually or in proper subsets of all the bladders to adjust pressure distribution and mandrel position within the layup after closing a blade shell mold over the layup. The bladders may be transversely partitioned () at multiple spanwise (S) positions along the mandrel in order to define additional sets of adjustable bladders along the span of the mandrel.
