Abstract:The aim of the paper is to present through a contrastive analysis the main models used in the analysis and design of horizontal axis wind turbines. The basis for designing a rotor for a wind turbine, which is the main element of a turbine that extracts energy from the wind, is the propeller theory. This theory incorporates mathematical models that describe the movement of fluid around the propeller. The paper presents three generically named models, model A, model B and model C respectively, used in the analys… Show more
