To improve the ability of capturing the wind energy of wind turbine and shorten the design period is of great importance to designing wind turbine blade. The article established S809 airfoil model with trailing edge flaps, The gap of the frontal subject and trailing edge flap adopt uniform gap structure, this structure will reduce the influence of the gap on aerodynamic characteristics.Using the k-ω Two equation turbulence model , the article calculated aerodynamic performance of S809 with 10% chord length trailing edge flaps under different deflecting angles. Results show that gap between the main body and trailing edge flap has little effect on airfoil aerodynamic performance, however, the deflection Angle of Trailing edge flap have great affect on airfoil aerodynamic performance, when deflection Angle of trailing edge flap is 14 ° degrees ,the lift-to-drag ratio is the largest.

Due to the dynamic nature of the wind resource, wind turbine blades are subjected to significant variation in flow parameters, such as the angle of attack ([Formula: see text]). In some cases, the occurrence of dynamic stall on wind turbine blades causes load fluctuation which leads to material fatigue that tends to decrease the life span of the blades. In this study, the influence of a trailing edge flap on dynamic stall effects is investigated at high [Formula: see text] typical of wind turbines but atypical elsewhere. Pitching of the trailing edge flap was found to have a significant impact on the dynamic stall hysteresis loops responsible for the load fluctuation. Frequency analysis showed that the trailing edge flap was capable of reducing the cyclic fluctuation in the coefficient of lift and root bending moment by at least 26% and 24%, respectively. These results are a significant contribution toward understanding the advantages of using trailing edge flaps and how implementing them will reduce wind turbine blade load fluctuations.
