A REVIEW ON FABRICATION AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF SMALL WIND TURBINE BLADES

The detailed review of this paper currently focused on wind turbine analysis that includes designing concepts of wind turbine blades, practical efficiencies, blade loads, and theoretical maximum efficiency. The review is focusing on aerodynamic efficiency of small wind turbine blades by optimal angle of attacks and evaluating the lift and drag coefficients of various attacks. Various design loads like gravitational, aerodynamic, gyroscopic, centrifugal forces at different operating conditions and with the analysis of buckling, post buckling and fatigue are presented. This review continues with the fabrication and experimental investigation of various wind turbine blades. The power examination and efficiency evaluation of small wind turbine in various field test are studied by different wind velocities.
