| description | Small capacity wind turbine performance
is influenced in a large extent by the blade profiles
aerodynamics. By this point of view, the paper
presents the most important aspects of aerodynamic
profiles, and aspects concerning their optimization in
order to increase performance. The study of blade
profiles polar led to the identification of a reference
profile, NACA4418, for which the best aerodynamic
lift drag ratio is obtained on a big range of attack
angles. A flow analysis on the reference profile is
performed, using a CFD model of numerical
simulations in order to obtain performance for
different wind speeds. |
