METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE LIFE OF COMPONENTS OF A WIND TURBINE OR SIMILAR ACCORDING TO ITS LOCATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining the life of components of a wind turbine or similar according to its location, said method comprising the phases of:
obtaining an aeroelastic model of the wind turbine according to its design conditions;obtaining an aeroelastic model of the actual wind turbine arranged at its site;determining the specific wind conditions at the site of the wind turbine;determining the specific operating conditions of the wind turbine at its site;determining the design fatigue loads on the components of the wind turbine according to regulatory wind and operating conditions;determining the actual fatigue loads on the components of the wind turbine according to the specific wind and operating conditions; anddetermining the life of each component of the wind turbine at its site, reintegrating the actual fatigue loads until the design fatigue loads are reached.
