Multi-Objective Aerodynamic and Structural Optimization of Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine Blades

A procedure based on MATLAB combined with ANSYS is presented and utilized for the multi-objective aerodynamic and structural optimization of horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) blades. In order to minimize the cost of energy (COE) and improve the overall performance of the blades, materials of carbo...
