Abstract |
|
In order to optimally explore and utilize wind energy, an optimal design of wind turbine rotor blades needs to be obtained. A lot of work has been done for the optimization of wind turbine blade. There are many factors which are important to take into consideration while designing the turbine blade. Therefore, for that purpose, QBlade software based on the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory is used in the present study. Which gives a brief insight of effects of angle of twist on the performance of small horizontal axis wind turbine. Different blade designs are experimented in this study by changing the angle of twist of wind turbine blade. It ranges from zero to fifty degree angle of twist and results are observed critically and it was found that at 20 degree angle of twist the performance of blade is optimum it gives maximum power output. |
