Design and optimization of affordable wind turbine blade geometry for a horizontal axis wind turbine under low speed wind conditions

The main objective of the project is to design a small wind turbine generator of 500W. This paper presents a design and optimization of a three bladed horizontal axis wind turbine with a radius of 3.5 m for low wind speed conditions of 4 m/s. The blade configuration is made to be as simple as possible in order to make it affordable. The simulation is done using open source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software OpenFOAM. The simulation uses a solver called simpleFoam based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) with k-ω turbulence model. The optimization study was conducted by changing parameters of the width of the blade chord
