Abstract

In wind-power plants like in all engineering structures, vibrations are taken into consideration in design phases in order to avoid resonance. This condition occurs when the frequency of the exciting force coincides with one of the natural frequencies of system, which causes dangerously large amplitudes. In the present study, natural frequencies of the Rotor blades of NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) 4415 and NASA/Langley LS(1) 421MOD series of wind-power plants that deliver energy to be consumed by a farm family with four persons are calculated. Therefore, after designing the rotors, their natural frequencies are determined first by Rayleigh’s Method and next by finite element method. Further for both rotor blades, resonance analysis is carried out by the found excitation of external forces.
