title = "Investigations on concepts for modularizing a horizontal axis wind turbine blade",
abstract = "The proposed investigation aims at evaluating concepts for modularizing horizontal axis wind turbine blades and also evaluate for their load carrying capability. This work begins with evaluation of a non-modularized blade to serve as a reference and for comparison with modularized blade. Static bending test is simulated as per IEC61400-23 standard. This work started with evaluating various modularization concepts for joining after identifying suitable location based on trade-off studies. These concepts are evaluated through a concept selection process involving various performance parameters as criteria. This work being exploratory in nature resulted in an evaluation procedure required for modularizing wind turbine blade.",
