Abstract

Abstract:

In various renewable energy sources, wind energy is one of the fastest-growing energy sources worldwide and has a good prospect of development and utilization. The present situation of wind turbines industries was outlined and analyzed herein. The development tendency of wind turbines was summarized; the research situations and problems were analyzed, including aerodynamic analysis on wind rotors, analysis and calculation of loads, structure dynamics and control, energy transfer and control and pitch system. Finally, it is pointed out that since the wind turbine is sophisticated nonlinear system related to theory of multi-disciplines, involving multi-physical coupling field and multi-physical process, the thinking method of system science should be adopted in the future research based on multi-discipline knowledge.

Key words: renewable energy, wind energy;large scale wind turbine, multi-discipline theory, system science
