An lmproved Approach for Performance prediction of HAWT using the Strip Theory

摘要

This work reviews briefly the basis of the strip theory or blade Element/Momentum method and its most use approaches for design and performance prediction of Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines - HAWT, and proposes a new improved approach for the whole extension of The Tip Speed Ratio- TSR region. The results are compared to others fond in the literature And to available experimental data.
