The efficient selection of a wind turbine at a given site is presently limited by the developer's
knowledge of what turbines are available on the market, and their inability to test and …

Within the framework of blade aerodynamic design, the maximum aerodynamic efficiency,
power production, and minimum thrust force are the targets to obtain. This paper describes …

The purpose of this study is the development of an automated two-dimensional airfoil shape
optimization procedure for small horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT), with an emphasis on …

Wind power has been widely considered in recent years as an available and a clean
renewable energy source. The cost of wind energy production is currently the main issue …
