Abstract

A computational flow simulation is conducted to study underperformance of some stall regulated wind turbine blades. A hypothesis is proposed explaining the causes for the underperformance of an 8kW stall regulated wind turbine. The two main causes affecting the performance are due to poor manufacturing tolerances and the aerodynamic design of the airfoil. CFD studies confirmed the causes of the underperformance for these blades and a good comparison with field data is obtained for our study.
