Aerodynamic shape optimization of wind turbine blades for minimizing power production losses due to icing Yirtici, Ozcan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2021-05-01) Ice formation on a wind turbine alters the airfoil profiles of the blades and causes degradation in the aerodynamic performance of the wind turbine and the resulting power production losses. Since the blade profile plays a significant role in the icing of a blade, power production losses due to icing can be minimized by optimizing the blade profile against icing. In this study, blade profiles are optimized in order to minimize power production losses. A Gradient based aerodynamic shape optimization method i...

AERODYNAMIC SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF WIND TURBINE BLADES BASED ON BEM METHODOLOGY AND GENETIC ALGORITHM Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2016-01-12)
Aerodynamic shape optimization of wind turbine blades using a 2-D panel method with a boundary layer solver and a Genetic Algorithm Polat, Ozge; Sezer-uzol, Nilay; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (null; 2012-12-01) This paper presents an aerodynamic shape optimization methodology for rotor blades of horizontal axis wind turbines. Genetic Algorithm and Blade Element Momentum (BEM) Theory are implemented for maximization of the power production at a given wind speed, rotor speed and rotor diameter. The potential flow solver with a boundary layer model, XFOIL, provides sectional aerodynamic loads. Optimization variables are selected as the sectional chord length, the sectional twist and the blade profiles at root, mid an...
Aerodynamic Optimization of a Swept Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Blade Kaya, Mehmet Numan; Kose, Faruk; Uzol, Oğuz; Ingham, Derek; Ma, Lin; Pourkashanian, Mohamed (2021-09-01) The aerodynamic shapes of the blades are still of high importance and various aerodynamic designs have been developed in order to increase the amount of energy production. In this study, a swept horizontal axis wind turbine blade has been optimized to increase the aerodynamic efficiency using the computational fluid dynamics method. To illustrate the technique, a wind turbine with a rotor diameter of 0.94 m has been used as the baseline turbine, and the most appropriate swept blade design parameters, namely...
