Tóm tắt

This report covers the design and analysis of the hardware safety systems of the DOE/SNL Scaled Wind Farm Technology facility wind turbines. An analysis of the stopping capability of the turbines in multiple scenarios is presented. Included are calculations of braking torque, simulations of high wind speed emergency stops including multiple fault scenarios, and comparisons of predicted turbine performance to the relevant design standards.
