  3. Wind-turbine aerodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind-turbine_aerodynamics

    Wind-turbine blades in laydown yard awaiting installation. The primary application of wind turbines is to generate energy using the wind. Hence, the aerodynamics is a very important aspect of wind turbines. Like most machines, wind turbines come in many different types, all of them based on different energy extraction concepts.

  4. QBlade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QBlade

    QBlade is especially adequate for teaching, as it provides a ’hands-on’ feeling for Horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) rotor design and shows all the fundamental relationships between blade twist, blade chord, section airfoil performance, turbine control, power and load curves in an easy and intuitive way. QBlade also includes post ...

  5. Tip-speed ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip-speed_ratio

    The tip-speed ratio, λ, or TSR for wind turbines is the ratio between the tangential speed of the tip of a blade and the actual speed of the wind, v. The tip-speed ratio is related to efficiency, with the optimum varying with blade design. [1] Higher tip speeds result in higher noise levels and require stronger blades due to larger centrifugal ...

  7. Blade element momentum theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Element_Momentum_Theory

    Whereas the streamtube area is reduced by a propeller, it is expanded by a wind turbine. For either application, a highly simplified but useful approximation is the Rankine–Froude "momentum" or "actuator disk" model (1865, [1] 1889 [2]). This article explains the application of the "Betz limit" to the efficiency of a ground-based wind turbine.

  8. Diffuser-augmented wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Diffuser-augmented_wind_turbine

    The increased efficiency is possible due to the increased wind speeds the diffuser can provide. In traditional bare turbines, the rotor blades are vertically mounted at the top of a support tower or shaft. In a DAWT, the rotor blades are mounted within the diffuser, which is then placed on the top of the support tower.

  9. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

    Different materials have varying effects on the efficiency of wind turbines. In an Ege University experiment, three wind turbines, each with three blades with a diameter of one meter, were constructed with blades made of different materials: A glass and glass/carbon epoxy, glass/carbon, and glass/polyester. When tested, the results showed that ...
