Ice accretion on the turbine blades change the initial shape and this cause alteration in the aerodynamic characteristic of the blades. The objective of the study is to predict performance degradation on wind turbines due to icing. The aerodynamic coefficients are being computed using a Detached-eddy Simulation approach. The influence of the losses on turbine performance will be analyzed through a Blade Element Momentum methodology.

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...
