Aerodynamic analysis of horizontal axis wind turbine using blade element momentum theory for low wind speed conditions
All around the world, a rapid growth of energy demand during the last decades. An ideal alternative to meet this additional increasing demand would be through renewable energy resources such as wind energy. With over 300 GW of installed wind capacity worldwide and the target for future increase of c...

For countries around the equator where wind speed is low, the need for new innovative design of wind turbine for low wind speed condition or class 1 wind is of primary urgency. A new type of airfoil for low wind speed turbine blade need to be designed. The objective of this study is to investigate the design parameters influencing the performance of three blades Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT).
