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 horizontal axis wind turbine blades by using CST method, BEM theory and genetic algorithm
Oğuz, Keriman; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
In this thesis, an aerodynamic design and optimization study for rotor airfoils and blades of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) is performed by using different airfoil representations and genetic algorithm. Two airfoil representations, the Class-Shape Transformation (CST) method and the Parametric Section (PARSEC) method, are used for the airfoil geometry designs. Their aerodynamic data is obtained by a potential flow solver software, XFOIL. The Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory is used to calculate t...

Aerodynamic design and optimization of horizontal axis wind turbines by using bem theory and genetic algorithm
Ceyhan, Özlem; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008)
An aerodynamic design and optimization tool for wind turbines is developed by using both Blade Element Momentum (BEM) Theory and Genetic Algorithm. Turbine blades are optimized for the maximum power production for a given wind speed, a rotational speed, a number of blades and a blade radius. The optimization variables are taken as a fixed number of sectional airfoil profiles, chord lengths, and twist angles along the blade span. The airfoil profiles and their aerodynamic data are taken from an airfoil datab...
