Aerodynamic Optimal Design of Wind Turbine Blades using Genetic Algorithm
Wind power has been widely considered and utilized in recent years as one of the most promising renewable energy sources. In the current research study, aerodynamic analysis of the upwind three-bladed horizontal axis turbine is carried out using blade element momentum theory (BEM), and a genetic algorithm (GA) is applied as an optimization method. Output power generation is considered as an obj...

متن کاملReliability-Based Design Optimization of Wind Turbine Blades for Fatigue Life under Wind Load Uncertainty
1. Abstract Conventional wind turbine blades have been designed using fatigue life predictions based on a fixed wind load distribution that does not fully capture uncertainty of the wind load. This could result in early fatigue failure of blades and eventually increase the maintenance cost of wind turbines. To produce reliable as well as economical wind turbine blades, this paper studies reliab...
متن کاملStructural Optimization Design of Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine Blades Using a Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm and Finite Element Method
This paper presents an optimization method for the structural design of horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) blades based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) combined with the finite element method (FEM). The main goal is to create an optimization tool and to demonstrate the potential improvements that could be brought to the structural design of HAWT blades. A multi-criteria cons...
متن کاملIncreased Strength in Wind Turbine Blades through Innovative Structural Design
When a system design approach is applied to wind turbine blades, manufacturing and structural requirements are included along with aerodynamic considerations in the design optimization. The resulting system-driven design includes several innovative structural features such as flat-back airfoils, a constant thickness carbon spar-cap, and a thin, large diameter root. Subscale blades were manufact...
