1. Calculate the total thrust and aerodynamics power developed in a 3- blade wind turbine at
a wind velocity of 9 m/s.
The machine specifications are as follows:
Diameter = 9 m
Rotational speed = 100 rpm
Blade length = 4 m
TSR = 5.23
Chord length = 0.45 m
Pitch angle = 5
o

Airfoil section = NACA 23018
Distance from shaft to inner edge = 0.5 m
Solution:

It will be convenient the airfoil in to four blade elements as shown below








V

= 9 m/s
By Betz theory
v = 2/3 * 9 = 6 m/s
= 1.2 kg/m

Area of each blade element (dA
