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 ...
