At what type of location vibrations are more in the wind turbine?(a) Downwind location(b) Up wind location(c) Windward(d) LeewardThis question was addressed to me in an online quiz.The above asked question is from Components of Wind Energy Conversion System in section Wind Energy of Energy Engineering

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) Up wind location

The best I can explain: In the upwind location (i.e. the wind encounters the TURBINE before reaching the TOWER), the wake of the PASSING rotor blades causes repeated changes in the wind forces on the wind forces on the tower. Due to this the tower may vibrate and may eventually be damaged.
