VAWTs present their own challenges in terms of wind blade design and wind energy capture strategies, but the vertical axis also provides greater flexibility in terms of size, shape and form of the blade. The VAWT market, in general, is replete with imaginative blade designs that aim not only for efficient energy capture but also strong aesthetics because of the need to appeal to consumer and business interests in highly visible applications.There are two fundamental VAWT blade designs from which manufacturers can choose: Savonius and Darrieus (see comparison photo). A Savonius design is characterized by two or more scoops attached to the turbine’s vertical axis. A Darrieus system comprises two or more airfoils, sometimes with a parabolic shape, attached to the turbine’s vertical axis. Most VAWT manufacturers have, at some point, picked either Savonius or Darrieus as the primary blade design type and then developed variations that, ideally, increase wind capture efficiency and help produce a viable, sustainable product.

In these sessions, experts will discuss the emerging hydrogen economy and the opportunities for composites in this lucrative space.

In the wake of the race for size, the wind energy industry left a void in the market for smaller-capacity turbines designed to serve off-grid business, residential and industrial applications. Into this gap, over the last decade or so, have stepped a variety of small-capacity wind turbine manufacturers. Although many of these producers have followed the large-turbine model and employ horizontal axis turbines, some have opted for vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs).

“We wanted to make a turbine that is efficient, quiet, durable, has little vibration and looks good,” Blitterswyk recalls. “But there was just not much data available about VAWT blade design and how well they perform in different wind conditions.”

As UGE’s product line expanded and turbines and blades increased in size, Prutzman says designs were modified to reduce blade weight and increase strength. This was accomplished primarily by replacing the foam core with an I-beam core. Fabricated from the same glass/polyester material used in the skins, the I-beams are laid up and molded separately. The blade skins, also molded separately, are then adhesively bonded to the I-beam.

Manufacturers of VAWTs typically employ a turbine design type that is a variation of one of two categories. The Savionius type (center) uses a series of air scoops attached to the vertical axis. The Darrieus type (right), which UGE chose, features two or more parabolically shaped air foils oriented in the same direction as the turbine axis. UGE’s innovation is the helical blade design (left), which adds aesthetic appeal and enhances wind-capture. Source: UGE

Blitterswyk says each turbine represents some iteration in blade design evolution. “We find that there is still a lot of improvement that can be made in efficiencies,” he notes.

For the eddyGT turbine, the metallic support arms are attached to the blade with molded-in metallic nuts, into which bolts are screwed. On larger blades for later turbine models, the support arms were converted to glass/polyester composite.

This was the position in which Urban Green Energy (UGE, New York, N.Y.) found itself in 2008. The company was looking to enter the small wind VAWT market, evaluated the Savonius and Darrieus designs, and decided that Darrieus was the best bet. Nick Blitterswyk, UGE’s CEO, remembers, however, that the lack of research and development in the small wind market following the scale-up of commercial turbines left open many questions about optimum VAWT blade design strategies for good aerodynamics.

The composites industry plays a crucial role in developing lightweight and durable materials for a range of applications, including those critical to national defense. One key focus area is the development of advanced structural materials and manufacturing technologies that support next-generation space, missile and aircraft systems for the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). ARC Technologies LLC (ARC), a division of Hexcel Corporation, based in Amesbury, Massachusetts, is a provider of advanced composites structures, specialty materials and other unique products that provide the U.S. Department of Defense with advanced capabilities to protect service members while in harm’s way. This team’s specialty is to understand a specific need from a program office, PEO, platform manufacturer or other offices within the DOD. With that understanding, the team can design a solution, develop a prototype for test and evaluation, perform extensive in-house testing — including electromagnetic, environmental and structural testing — and then partner with the customer through platform evaluation. The Hexcel Amesbury division has a team of engineers on staff, including mechanical, chemical, electrical and research and development specialists that can provide design, testing and manufacturing capabilities to service customer requirements from concept through production. This presentation will illustrate capabilities in advanced composites and other specialty materials structures, focusing on the Hexcel Amesbury team's niche in electromagnetic signature reduction and other unique capabilities.

Dallara and Tenowo collaborate to produce a race-ready Formula 2 seat using recycled carbon fiber, reducing CO2 emissions by 97.5% compared to virgin materials.

UGE’s first task, then, was to develop a basic design and then prototype it for testing. The company opted for a design that has become the firm’s trademark: three helical blades curve around the shell axis, and each blade is attached to the shell axis by two arms that are bonded to the back of the blade. Although UGE intended from the start to employ composites in blade construction, Blitterswyk says the company fabricated its first prototype from metal strictly to assess design viability. “The first prototype was a basic airfoil with relatively short chord length. It actually didn’t look that good,” he admits. “It had lots of metal with the blades connected at the top and bottom.” UGE also discovered that some of its assumptions about blade design were wrong. “Without giving away too much, I will say that when we first made this prototype, we did so based on some data from other turbines on the market. We found that claims of other suppliers about turbine capability were not accurate,” he says.

Most notably, says UGE engineer Katrina Prutzman, the company opted for a unique two-axis design, “one axis inside the other to even out the load.” The interior axis is metallic, emerges from the generator at the base of the turbine and bears most of the load of the blades. Surrounding this is the shell axis, which is also metallic and rotates around the primary load-bearing axis. It rides on sealed bearings to maintain easy turning capability and forms the structure to which the blades are attached.

A report on the demand for hydrogen as an energy source and the role composites might play in the transport and storage of hydrogen.

As current commercial wind turbine capacities race past 2 MW and head for 3, 5 and 7 MW, it’s hard to remember that there was a time when wind energy systems weren’t so large — when blades and towers were shorter and when a high-end turbine generated 100 kW of power. But that was 20 years ago, and economies of scale have since dictated growth to increase wind energy capture capabilities, particularly as the industry looks to offshore locations.

The second and third prototypes also saw UGE fine-tune the design of the helical blades, with subtle changes to the pitch of the leading and trailing edges, the degree of twist in the helix, the blade length and the blade width. Most of this design work, says Prutzman, was and is done with SolidWorks from Dassault Systèmes (Waltham, Mass., and Paris, France). More testing ensued, and by early 2009, says Blitterswyk, the design was finalized and UGE was ready to begin manufacturing.

UGE has placed turbines in more than 70 countries and has seen revenue more than double each year for the past three years. The company’s top markets, says Blitterswyk, are commercial (BMW, the Hilton Hotels chain and General Electric Co. are customers) and off-grid telecom. The latter is most common in developing countries where the power grid infrastructure can’t supply power to remote signal towers for mobile phone and other communication networks. UGE’s turbines provide a small, affordable way to meet the this need. In 2012, UGE already has sold more than 1,000 turbines. The company expects to double that quantity in 2013 and will double the size of its manufacturing facility near Beijing, China.

The first UGE turbine launched commercially was the eddy, a 600W system with helical blades about 2m/6.6 ft long. This was followed by the eddyGT, one of UGE’s best-sellers. Blitterswyk says UGE first considered carbon fiber for turbine blade fabrication but eventually migrated to glass fiber. The eddyGT blades employ a fairly simple architecture, consisting of a foam core surrounded by a glass fiber laminate on each side. The glass, primarily a dry woven fabric, includes some unidirectional material around attachment points for added strength. The fabric is supplied from a source near Beijing. It is hand-placed in the tool and then vacuum-bag infused. “I don’t know if I ever felt like we were bumping up against a material limitation with composites,” Blitterswyk recalls. The limitation, he says, was encountered on the manufacturing floor.

Testing of the first prototype was conducted at a facility near Beijing, China, where UGE was looking to do its manufacturing. The trials, Blitterswyk notes, ranged from the conventional (wind tunnel) to the unconventional (box fan; turbine mounted in pickup truck bed). All of this work led to several design changes in the second and third prototypes — changes that have persisted in UGE’s current products.

The goal from the start, he notes, was to find a composites-capable manufacturer near UGE’s assembly facility outside Beijing and have that company mold and supply finished blades and outer axis structures. However, Blitterswyk says the complex helical curve of the blades proved particularly challenging to the supplier. Not only was proper placement of the glass fiber fabrics important, but placement had to be done on a surface replete with curves and slopes. This presented a challenge that the contractor was unable to meet.
