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 POCKET SQUARES the power production and, most importantly, to affect the vibratory behavior of wind turbine components.Consequ
