Abstract

In this paper, the improved design of NREL 5 MW wind turbine’s blade was studied. The innovative structural design of the blade web was carried out based on corrugated structure, and the layup design of the wind turbine blades was carried out in ANSYS APDL to achieve the purpose of blade weight reduction and blade strength improvement without changing the aerodynamic shape of the blades. The modal, statics, bending and torsional characteristics of the blades were analyzed with the ANSYS statics module, and the research results show that the "T" beam web based on the corrugated structure design can meet the structural strength of the blade, reduce the weight of the blade, and effectively improve the torsional performance of the blade.

Key words
