Modeling And Designing Of Wind Turbine Blade

In this book “Modeling and Designing of Wind Turbine Blade” for the location of Distt. Kangra is presented. The methodology used in this research includes the collection of meteorological data and investigation of parameters that effects the power output of the wind blade. At first the investigation of parameter and meteorological data is collected for the selected area, After the investigation of parameters, the airfoil section is done. In this research work certain airfoils have selected based on the literature review and investigate these airfoils at low Reynolds numbers. The characteristics of airfoil is examined on the basis of lift coefficient, drag coefficient, and lift to drag ratio. based on the characteristics of the airfoil, the best airfoil is selected for the modeling and designing of wind blade in q blade software. For the modeling of blade at first blade is divided into different sections for the calculation purpose. At the end, simulation of wind blade is done and a graph of coefficient of power and tip to speed ratio is obtained. The performance of the blade at different Reynolds numbers is also checked by us in q blade software.
