A revision of blade element/momentum theory for wind turbines in their high-thrust region
Modern horizontal-axis wind turbines produce maximum power at an optimal tip speed ratio, λopt, of around 7. This is also the approximate start of the high-thrust region, which extends to runaway at λR ≈ 2λopt where no power is produced and the thrust is maximized. The runaway thrust coefficient oft...
