The Design And Analysis Of Tapered And Untapered Blades Of Horizontal Wind Turbine

Abstract

To achieve the highest extraction of the wind energy, a high efficiency of the wind turbine is needed. There are difference of efficiency between horizontal axis and vertical axis wind turbine. In this paper an attempt is made to study the horizontal axis and vertical axis wind turbine and which one is more efficient if put them in the same environment. To analyze the efficiency, a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software is needed.
