With the rapid advancement in the energy sector, there arises an increasing imperative to bolster energy efficiency and prolong the operational lifespan of wind turbines. Among the vital and costly components in wind energy infrastructure are the wind turbine blades. Hence, understanding the forces exerted on these blades is of paramount importance. In this study, we have predicted the aerodynamic loads acting on horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) blades for different wind speeds and tip-speed ratios (TSR) using an Open-source software (Qblade). Using NACA 4412 airfoil, a model of wind turbine blade (WTB) in created in Qblade having 77.5 m rotor radius. It is observed that the loads acting on WTB increases with wind speed while for constant wind speed and increment in TSR lead to decrement in tangential force.

摘要

With the rapid advancement in the energy sector, there arises an increasing imperative to bolster energy efficiency and prolong the operational lifespan of wind turbines. Among the vital and costly components in wind energy infrastructure are the wind turbine blades. Hence, understanding the forces exerted on these blades is of paramount importance. In this study, we have predicted the aerodynamic loads acting on horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) blades for different wind speeds and tip-speed ratios (TSR) using an Open-source software (Qblade). Using NACA 4412 airfoil, a model of wind turbine blade (WTB) in created in Qblade having 77.5 m rotor radius. It is observed that the loads acting on WTB increases with wind speed while for constant wind speed and increment in TSR lead to decrement in tangential force.
