Numerical Analysis of Wind Turbine Performance Using Different Blade Materials under Wind Load Deflection

A numerical investigation of the deflection on blades three different materials against range wind speeds, and effect blades’ aerodynamic performance was carried out. ABS plastic, wood glass fiber were used to make blade solid models with Eppler E387 airfoil. Using ANSYS software, load impact simulation over operation speeds determine tip deflections. Highest lowest found be for plastic fibre respectively Deflected adopted a commercial 20 kW turbine as case study. The turbines subjected air flow performances 5m/s 20m/s speeds. At rated speed 10m/s, power coefficient values 0.52175, 0.53685 0.53710 at optimum ratio (TSR) 5 produced by ABS, respectively. severe 20m/s, corresponding 0.29911, 0.47458 0.58666 study indicates that normal operating winds all are suitable adoption, while material seems withstand most in performance.
