Power Optimization of The Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Capacity of 1 MW on Various Parameters of The Airfoil, an Angle of Attack, and a Pitch Angle

Abstract

The rotor is one of the vital components of a wind turbine. In the design of the rotor, the expected result is the most optimal power. This purpose study is to optimization of the Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine power of various parameters such as airfoil, angle of attack, and pitch angle. Airfoils (NACA 4412-2412 T.E. mod, NACA 2412-4412 T.E. mod, NACA 4412-2412 L.E. mod, NACA 2412-4412 L.E. mod), angle of attack (0, 2, 4, 6), and pitch angle (0, 1, 2, 3) are the parameter variations used. The simulation method uses BEM (Blade Element Momentum), and the Taguchi for optimization is based on the L16 orthogonal array matrix. The ANOVA has to determine the contribution of each parameter to the HAWT power generated. Simulation and optimization results show that the most optimal parameter was a NACA airfoil 4412-2412 L.E mod, at 0˚ angle of attack and 0˚ pitch angle, with the resulting power reaching 1015780 Watt. The ANOVA analysis shows the airfoil parameter has the greatest contribution to the rotor power of the HAWT compared to the angle of attack and pitch angle.

Utilizing the Taguchi Method to Optimize Rotor Blade Geometry for Improved Power Output in Ducted Micro Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines

“…Their results revealed that (1) the turbine exhibited C P,max at a blade pitch angle of 0 • , (2) the starting process of the turbine was characterized by a long idling period, and (3) the turbine's startup was best for a blade pitch angle of 20 • . Kriswanto et al [23] adopted the Taguchi method to optimize the performance of a HAWT. Their analysis of variance (ANOVA) results indicated that of all the investigated parameters, the airfoil had the strongest influence on the rotor power of the HAWT.…”

Analysis of Inverted Planar Perovskite Solar Cells with Graphene Oxide as HTL using L9 OA Taguchi Method

“…The presence of Orthogonal Array (OA) is one of the major advantages of the Taguchi method. Taguchi method also helps in minimizing the number of experiments required in optimization purpose [6][7][8][9][10][11]. The important characteristics of HTL is high conductivity, high transparency, favorable process solution and stability, high WF and good hole mobility [12].…”
