Abstract

Based on ANSYS finite element analysis software, a parametric modeling interface for wind turbine blades and pitch bearings is developed using parametric design language. The parametric modeling interface is used to quickly establish a simplified finite element model of the blade and pitch bearing so as to optimize the design of the blade structure, calculate the maximum tensile stress of the bearing and bolt connection, and analyze the relationship between the working stress of the bearing and bolt and the bolt preload. The analysis and calculation results guide the safety and reliability of wind turbine parts design. After analysis, the optimization of blade structure is mainly in the region of leaf root enhancement, the number of layers laid in the cross-section of No. 1-3 has no major modification, the bi-directional cloth in the cross-section of No. 3-6 is increased by 55 layers, 5 layers reduce the cross-section of No. 7-8, and the cross-section of No. 16-23, 1 layer of the bi-directional cloth is increased in order to improve the strength of the tip of the blade and the resistance to bending capacity. The preload force applied to the pitch bearing during the actual installation process is generally 50% to 70% of the yield limit of the bolt material. The pitch bearings have the best load-carrying capacity under ultimate loads, with the ditch curvature radius coefficient and clearance generally around 0.530 and −0.12mm.
