Design and Performance of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Using Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT)

Article Preview

Abstract:

The design of blade of horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) has been conducted using model which developed based on blade element momentum theory. The performance of the turbine has been predicted using the same model. Moreover, the improvements of the model have been suggested. To accomplish the design and predict the performance of horizontal axis wind turbine, numerical code has been implemented; the performance of the turbine with and without improvements has been compared with published date. Based on the results presented more improvements have been suggested
