Abstract

Dynamic response of flexible multi-body large wind turbines has been quickly growing in recent years. With the new normal economic policy, the economy of China is developing innovatively and stably. New energy development and utilization is an important strategy for people’s lives and economic development around the world. It is feasible to analyze from a broad perspective. In particular, the development and application of wind power is affecting the economic development of industry to a certain extent. Persistent and significant large wind turbines have cast concern over the prospects of wind power technology, and a comprehensive development potential of wind power technology has been analyzed its potential use in the future. The multi-body dynamics method can better analyze and describe the impact of flexible blade elastic deformation on motion characteristics and provides a practical analysis method for the aeroelastic stability analysis and control system design of wind turbines.
