Aerodynamic shape optimization and analysis of small wind turbine blades employing the Viterna approach for post-stall region

This paper aims to optimize the distribution of chord and twist angle of small wind turbine blade in order to maximize its Annual Energy Production (AEP). A horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) blade is optimized using a calculation code based on the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory. A difficult t...
