Finite Element Analysis for Dynamic Simulation of Composite HAWT Blade

turbines harvest wind energy and transform it into electricity every day, offering a sustainable energy source. The case study for this research was a HAWT (horizontal-axis wind turbine). General Electric's 1.5 MW series of HAWT was examined using a finite element FE modeling approach. The one-way connection was subjected to a fluid-mechanical, fluid structural interaction (FSI) investigation. The maximum distortion energy theory may be used to determine the maximum value of stress on a HAWT, and total deformation at various speeds was discovered to be at 7, 10, 12, 15, and 20 m/s. Five composite materials were compared, including epoxy-S-glass, epoxy-E-glass, epoxy-carbon, Kevlar, and Technora. The obtained CFD results are compared with experimental data and the mathematical calculation of the GE 1.5-xle turbine. The experimental conducted by (NREL) results, and mode shape values agreed reasonably well. The results showed that an increase in wind speed caused an increase in blade deformation and von Mises stresses acting on the HAWT blade. Epoxy E Glass had the maximum deformation value of 833.49mm at 12m/s, while Kevlar had the minimum deformation value of 263.86mm at 12m/s. Kevlar also had the maximum von Mises stress value of 33.159MPa at 12m/s, while Epoxy E Glass had the minimum von Mises stress value of 27.695MPa at 12m/s.
