Diseño de modelo determinístico para estimar el tiempo de vidade una caja de cambios de una turbina eòlica offshore : determinaciòn de cargas aerodinámicas resultantes sobre los àlabes debido a la acciòn de cargas de viento.

Abstract

In this project, the loads produced on the blades of an offshore wind turbine due to wind loads were determined. The determination of the loads stardted with the collection of information and its respective aerodinamic analysis. From the information gathered, it was possible to determine the equations for calculation of loads and other related variables. For this purpose the software code QBlade (an open source software) was used. The software allows to determine the aerodinamic coefficients and loads of the turbine. From the creation of the airfoils, through the implementation of parameters to the graphs resulting from the computational Simulation, the aerodinamic loads are assessed.
