Abstract

This thesis presents and describes about a research for wind turbine blade and the methods for wind turbine blade optimization. The study is mainly focused on the three bladed horizontal axis wind turbine and the performance of the turbine. This thesis is also focused on the effect of changing the aero foil section of the blades along its length. The design of the blade was developed by using Solidwork to reach the highest possible power output with the optimized design. The design of the blade is a one of the important factor that needs to be considered as it will affect to the performance of the wind turbine system. The comparison between the two bladed and three bladed was shown by the value of the chord, twist and the airfoil profile. Some formulas related to the development of wind turbine blade are also discussed.
