Abstract
In this paper, the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory is used to design the
horizontal wind turbine blades. The design procedure concerns the main parameters of the
axial/angular induction factors, chord length, twist/attack angles, and local power/thrust
coefficients. These factors in turns affect the blade aerodynamics characteristics and
efficiency at the corresponding nominal speed. NACA 4-digits airfoil geometry is obtained,
using BEM theory, to achieve the maximum lift to drag ratios. The optimization of the ...
