Abstract

The purpose of this paper is tof ind the optimum design attack angle for fixed-pitch variable-speed wind turbine blade design, given the base-line wind turbine and the blade airfoil. Aerodynamic characteristics, i.e. lift and drag coefficients and lift to drag ratio, of the wind turbine, are analyzed. Two design attack angles along with the base-line attack angle (with maximum lift to drag ratio) are selected for the wind turbine blade design exercise. Blade design outcomes are analyzed and compared along with load performance and power performance. This paper is possibly the first attempt to determine the optimized design attack angle for maximizing annual energy production, given the base-line wind turbine and the blade airfoil.
