Abstract:

This paper presents an optimization model for rotor blades of horizontal axis wind turbines. The model refers to a design method based on blade element momentum (BEM) theory is explained for power prediction of horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). The method is used to optimize the chord and twist distributions of the blades. Power predicted by this method validate with 750 KW Global Wind Power turbine. Also a computer program is written to estimate the aerodynamic performance of the existing HAWT blades and used for the performance analysis of the designed 750 KW HAWT rotor.
