This work undertakes an aerodynamic analysis over the parked and the rotating NREL Phase VI wind turbine blade. The experimental sequences from NASA Ames wind tunnel selected for this study respond to the parked blade and the rotating configuration, both for the upwind, two-bladed wind turbine operating at nonyawed conditions. The objective is to bring some light into the nature of the flow field and especially the type of stall behavior observed when 2D aerofoil steady measurements are compared to the parked blade and the latter to the rotating one. From averaged pressure coefficients together with their standard deviation values, trailing and leading edge separated flow regions have been found, with the limitations of the repeatability of the flow encountered on the blade. Results for the parked blade show the progressive delay from tip to root of the trailing edge separation process, with respect to the 2D profile, and also reveal a local region of leading edge separated flow or bubble at the inner, 30% and 47% of the blade. For the rotating blade, results at inboard 30% and 47% stations show a dramatic suppression of the trailing edge separation, and the development of a leading edge separation structure connected with the extra lift.

Abstract: Within the current years wind power is extensively taken into consideration and applied as one of the most promising renewable electricity assets. In the recent studies have a look at, aerodynamic analysis of horizontal axis turbine is achieved with the aid of using cfd. Blades which can be often possible for industrial grade wind turbines embody a directly span-wise profile in conjunction with airfoil fashioned go sections. Wind tunnel test is applied in order to check aerodynamic efficiency wind turbine blade. The goal of this study is to design a wind turbine. The layout manner includes the choice of the sun machine for max efficiency and wind turbine kind and the determination of the blade airfoil, pitch attitude distribution along the radius, and chord duration distribution along the radius. The pitch angle and chord period distributions are optimized primarily based on conservation of angular momentum and principle of aerodynamic forces on an airfoil. Blade element momentum (BEM) principle is first derived then used to conduct a parametric observe to be able to determine if the optimized values of blade pitch and chord period create the maximum green blade geometry. This work includes a discussion of the most important parameters in wind turbine blade layout to maximize efficiency. Keywords: Wind Turbine, HAWT, BEM Theory, Parametric Study, Maximization of efficiency etc.
