Abstract :
The wind turbine is a device
that converts the kinetic energy of wind into electrical
energy by generated motion. Wind turbines are an
increasingly important source of intermittent renewable
energy. As increasing the output power, the turbine
rotational speeds increases. There are many parameters
that effect on the horizontal axis wind turbine efficiency
such as the blade design (geometry), material, and the
attack angle. The attack angle is the angle between the
blade chord and the wind stream lines. In this research,
an experimental investigation was conducted for the
effect of changing in the blade design (geometer),
material, and attack angle in the small turbine
revolution per minute (output power and performance).
The optimum blade geometry was narrow width profile
and the best attack angle was found 70°. Moreover,
epoxy resin imbedded with carbon fiber is the most
suitable material for the blade to have better
performance.
