the effects of blade flexibility on wind turbine performance cannot be ignored. Based on lift-line free vortex wake model and geometrically exact beam theory model
the effects of blade flexibility on the aerodynamic performance of IEA-15 MW wind turbine is studied in this paper. The results show that the additional velocity brought by the platform's surge motion will change the inflow velocity of the wind turbine
thus causing the fluctuate of wind turbine loads. Compared with the fixed condition
the output power of the wind turbine is increased under the surge condition
while the wind turbine's load is decreased after considering the flexibility of the blade. In addition
there is a delay in the response of the wind turbine's loads to the change of the inflow velocity under surge condition
and the additional velocity caused by the flexible deformation of the blades will aggravate the delay of the load response.
