Study on An Approach for Wind Rotors Design and Optimization
The main objective of this paper is to investigate the horizontal-axis wind turbine rotors, which are optimized to produce the largest possible power output. Refined blade geometry is obtained from the best approximation of the calculated theoretical optimum chord and twist distributions of the rotating blade. The selected design parameters include the number of blades, type of airfoil section and the blade root offset from hub center. A computer program has been developed and several numerical examples are given, and the results show the variation of the power and thrust coefficients with the design tip speed ratio for various rotor configurations.
