Abstract :
Wind power is a promising green energy because of the energy crisis is grown up gradually. The first key factor to wind power is energy transfer efficiency and the reliability of the wind turbine system, if without efficiency, the power output just exhaust the energy, if without reliability, the wind turbine system is not only useless but danger to the surrender. This paper is use stress and dynamic simulation to analyze the falling accident of the blade of Whisper500 wind turbine. We use ADAMS software to build the model of Whisper500 wind turbine and simulate its structure, consider the thrust on the blade by flow field to analyze the force taken on screws when blades are rotating, and compare with real Whisper500 wind turbine to find the optimum electricity in the environment variation to improve the structural design of the wind turbine. The purpose is reducing the probability of accidents of the wind turbine so that have more efficiency and more reliability for the wind turbine system.
