Impact and mitigation of blade surface roughness effects on wind turbine performance

Abstract This paper presents a numerical study of the effects of blade roughness on wind turbine performance and annual energy production and how these effects may be partially mitigated through improved control. Three rotors are designed using the NACA4415, S801 and S810 airfoils, and blade element...
