Résumé
This paper presents a structural optimization process for the design of large thermoplastic wind turbine blades. Previous work by one of the authors on topology optimization of a short section of a blade has shown that a structure with a box spar and ribs is optimal to minimize the compliance for a given amount of material. The optimization process presented in this paper consists of topology optimization on the inner half of a blade with the inner volume of the blade as the design domain. Result of this problem (number and position of shear webs and ribs) are then interpreted to build a shell model of the complete blade to perform composite size optimization based on a minimum mass objective subjected to constraints on deflection, composite strength and structural stability. Different blade models using ribs are then optimized and compared against conventional blade structure (spar box without ribs, single web without ribs). The use of ribs in wind turbine blade structures, which is more adapted to thermoplastic composite manufacturing, leads to slightly lighter blades than conventional blade structures.
