DESIGN AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF A WIND TURBINE BLADE WITH MICRO TABS AND RIBS USING DIFFERENT MATERIALS

This research is used to investigate the structural analysis of the wind blade to increase the performance of the wi nd energy. A optimization technique using micro tabs and different materials like Aluminium, Steel Glass and Carbon composites is to reduce weight. The well defined model of blade is created and analysed usin g ansys software. The results are compared with materials like Aluminium, Steel, Glass and Carbon composites. The Micro tab is attached using CATIA and performed analysis using Ansys for the different materials. The Rib is provided towards the entire length of th e wind blade which will reduce the stress and total deformation.
