In the present study, Blade Element Momentum theory (BEMT) has been implemented to heuristically design a rotor blade for a 2kW Fixed Pitch Fixed Speed (FPFS) Small Scale Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (SSHAWT). Critical geometrical properties viz. Sectional Chord ci and Twist distribution θTi for the idealized, optimized and linearized blades are analytically determined for various operating conditions. Results obtained from BEM theory demonstrate that the average sectional chord ci and twist distribution θTi of the idealized blade are 20.42% and 14.08% more in comparison with optimized blade. Additionally, the employment of linearization technique further reduced the sectional chord ci and twist distribution θTi of the idealized blade by 17.9% and 14% respectively, thus achieving a viable blade bounded by the limits of economic and manufacturing constraints. Finally, the study also reveals that the iteratively reducing blade geometry has an influential effect on the solidity of the blade that in turn affects the performance of the wind turbine.

A preliminary study of a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) design is carried out using a wind tunnel to obtain its aerodynamic characteristics. Utilization of data from the study to develop large-scale wind turbines requires further study. This paper aims to discuss the use of wind turbine data obtained the wind-tunnel measurements to estimate the characteristics of wind turbines that have field size. One should measure the torque of two small-scale turbines inside the wind tunnel. The first small-scale turbine has a radius of 0.14 m, and the radius of the second small turbine is 0.19 m. Torque measurement results from both turbines were analyzed using the Buckingham π theorem to obtain a correlation between torsion and diameter variations. The obtained correlation equation was used to estimate the field measurement of turbine power with a radius of 1.2 m. The resulting correlation equation can be applied to approximate the energy generated by the turbine using the size of the field well in the operating area and the tip-speed ratio (λ) of the turbine design.
