An approximate method for solution to variable moment of inertia problems
Abstract
An approximation method is presented for reducing a nonlinear differential equation (for the 'weather vaning' motion of a wind turbine) to an equivalent constant moment of inertia problem. The integrated average of the moment of inertia is determined. Cycle time was found to be the equivalent cycle time if the rotating speed is 4 times greater than the system's minimum natural frequency.
