| Quarterly Activities/Project Description |
Overall purpose: More renewable wind power per unit of swept area, with reduced noise & safety concerns, with program executed in four primary tasks. Task 1 (6kW MEWT Demo): Previously completed field testing 6 kW field demonstration unit at site in Rutland, MA. Task 2 (Research Technology Upgrades) Objective 1 - Shroud Aero Research with the intent of producing smaller, more powerful systems: Advanced technology turbine (ATT) shroud designs analyzed using Cobalt actuator disk. Obj 2-Turbine Systems research towards efficiency and off-design performance: Continued tunnel testing of new rotor systems. Obj 3-Mixer/Ejector research for increased mixing with smaller shrouds. Latest advanced technology turbine design (ATT) shows 39% better exit Cp vs. earlier C481 design with 37% smaller mixer lobes. Obj 4-Generator research for embedding generator in turbine shroud: Previously completed. RimGen full power testing at FDWT facility in 2010. Obj 5a-Yaw & Off-Axis Control: Additional drag models built and tested at University of Maryland. Obj 5b-Rotor Speed Control Systems for reducing complexity: No activity this quarter. Obj 5c-Acoustics and Vibrations: Aeroeslastic test rig at Charlton used for small-scale testing. Obj 6-Ejector Shroud Mixer Research for accelerated wake mix-out/fill-in to increase wind farm productivity: Continued performance testing at MIT Wind tunnel. Task 3 (ATT MEWT Test): Completed testing of ATT test model and smaller MIT models at Lockheed Martin in January 2013. Task 4 (Progress/Design Reports): Completed quarterly status reports and updated DFM studies with Lotus engineering. |
