Development of a wind turbine optimization tool using open-source software
A wind turbine rotor optimization tool was developed. The tool makes use of the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method for the calculation of aerodynamic performance of rotors. A single objective optimization scheme based on genetic algorithms was implemented with the objective function being...
