Abstract

The optimum design and the performance analysis software called POSEIDON for the HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) is developed by use of BEMT, which is the standard computational technique for prediction of power curves of wind turbines. The Prandtl's tip loss theory is adopted to consider the blade tip loss. The lift and the drag coefficient of S-809 airfoil are predicted via X-FOIL and the post stall characteristics of S-809 also are estimated by the Viterna's equations.$^{[13]}$ All the predicted aerodynamic characteristics are fairly well agreed with the wind tunnel test results. performed by Sommers in Delft university of technology. The rated power of the testing rotor is 20kW(FIL-20) at design conditions. The experimental aerodynamic parameters and the X-FOIL data are used for the power Prediction of the FIL-20 respectively The comparison results shows good agreement in power prediction.
