IMPLEMENTATION OF VARIABLE BLADE INERTIA IN OPENFAST TO INTEGRATE A FLYWHEEL SYSTEM IN THE ROTOR OF A WIND TURBINE

Implementation of Variable Blade Inertia in OpenFAST to Integrate a Flywheel System in the Rotor of a Wind Turbine

In this paper, the integration of the dynamic behavior of the flywheel system into the load simulation tool OpenFAST is presented.The flywheel system enables a wind turbine to vary the inertia of its rotor blades to control the power production and, Rifle Slips most importantly, to affect the vibratory behavior of wind turbine components.Consequent

Assessing the role of habitat and species interactions in the population decline and detection bias of Neotropical leaf litter frogs in and around La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica

Worldwide, amphibian populations have been declining rapidly.This decline can be attributed to many factors including climate change, pesticide exposure, and emerging infectious diseases, among other important factors, but few studies have examined the influence of species interactions.In this study, we examined how habitat factors and co-occurring
