Abstract
Due to the tough condition in which the wind turbine is running, the airfoils used to design blade need to be specially designed. We should pay more attention to the aerodynamic properties as high lift, low drag and insensitive to surface roughness. Soupported under the "863" project (2007AA05Z449), two airfoil families have been designed specially for large-scale wind turbine blades through analysis, numerical simulation and wind tunnel test in BeiHang University. Experimental results show the design is successful.
