E.10 Deflection analysis<br />

According to IEC 61400-2 it shall be verified that no deflections affecting the wind tur-<br />

bine’s safety occur in the design load cases. One of the most important considerations is to<br />

verify that no mechanical interference between the blade and tower can occur, that is, no<br />

part of the blade shall hit the tower under any of the design load cases. Verification is ac-<br />

complished through a critical deflection analysis, which checks the serviceability limit<br />

state by comparing the no-load clearance LTB of figure E.42 with the maximum tip deflec-<br />

tion.<br />

Figure E.42: No-load clearance between blade and tower<br />

The largest radial blade deflection (in the x-direction of figure E.42) occurs in load case C.<br />

Figure E.43 below shows the deflection in mm.<br />
