Energy and Performance Optimization of Airfoil Blade of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine by CFD

Abstract

Wind Energy is a fast-developing type of intensity age the world over. This is to a limited
extent because of worries over worldwide environmental change and vitality security while
interest for electrical vitality keeps on developing. Power request is proposed to develop at a
yearly pace of 2.4% all around. Modern horizontal axis wind turbines have become a
financially reasonable type of clean and renewable power production. As a result, the wind
industry has recently experienced wonderful augmentation. Wind turbines convert the kinetic
energy of wind into rotating kinetic energy in the turbine further it converted in to electrical
energy with the help of generator that can be supplied. The wind power depends on the wind
velocity, swept area and design of blade. The wind qualities vary from place to place
Therefore; a turbine design must be optimized for the site in which it will be placed. Blade is
most critical and important element of any wind turbine because blade is directly responsible
for power generation. In this article we use NACA 0018 single air foil cutting edge and done
CFD examination on the grounds that CFD recreations can be executed in a brief timeframe.
The investigation completed by taking different blade angles 00, 100, 150 and 300 with wind
speed of 8 m/s. the outcome shows that blade angles 10o

create ultimate power.
