Analysis of air foils and design of blades for a low-speed 250W horizontal axis wind turbine suitable for coastal areas of Bangladesh

Abstract

Implementation of wind turbines has been expanded fundamentally on account of its accessibility and simple and easy generation techniques all around the globe. In the interim in Bangladesh wind energy conversion techniques are exceptionally late idea contrasted with other renewable energy conversion techniques but then in numerous spots research are going on to study and investigate the wind speed. Bangladesh has reasonably wind energy potential. In the present study, wind attributes and wind energy capability in the coastal regions including Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Hatiya, Teknaf, Kutubdia, Mongla and Patenga are been investigated. The main focus of this research is to study the wind prospects of coastal regions in Bangladesh by building up a measurable examination of wind speed and available power calculation at diverse seaside areas at 15m height, analyzation of air foils and design of turbine's blades for a 250W low-speed horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT).
