Study on Blade Geometric Design and Advanced Control for Horizontal Wind Turbine

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article focuses on minimizing the resistance of the blades to the air stream and improving the energy efficiency for the horizontal three-blade turbine NREL 5 MW. The study is structured on two levels: the design of a new geometric structure for the propeller blade and the development of an advanced control method, considering a range of 5–15 m/s wind speed. The research includes design and simulation with the Ashes software, using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theories. The study shows that the new geometric blade profile improves aerodynamic effectiveness over that range.
