Summary: | Wind energy is a clean source of energy. Wind turbine efficiency is affected
by wind speed, Reynolds number, density, humidity, and air temperature, as
well as other factors. The conversion of wind kinetic energy into the
rotational movement of the wind turbine is performed thanks to the
aerodynamic profile of the blade. Due to the large number of factors that
affect the efficiency of work, complex mathematical models and software
packages, specialized for this purpose, are used to shape the profile of the
wind turbine blade. This paper presents the application of software
packages for the design of the blade profile depending on the geographical
location and meteorological conditions prevailing in the area, to achieve
greater efficiency, that is, the production of a larger amount of electricity.
