OSTI ID:6011152
The objective of this report is to develop simplified methods of determining the performance and aerodynamic loading of non-flexible horizontal-axis wind turbines. A general discussion and background of wind-turbine aerodynamics is given. Horizontal-axis wind-turbine performance in a uniform wind is covered. A calculation scheme is developed and exampes are given. The calculation scheme and program listing are given in detail. The analysis and behavior of wind turbines subject to yaw, wind shear, and tower shadow are discussed. The method of analysis used for yaw has been checked with NACA wind-tunnel test data for yawed propellers. Calculation procedures and program listings are given.
