Analysing the structural integrity of the wind turbine blade will consist of carrying out a fluid flow analysis, a static structural analysis, and a modal
This article presents a comprehensive exploration of the design, modeling, and analysis of a wind turbine, employing a multidisciplinary approach to optimize its performance. The blade geometry was generated using QBlade software, a robust tool for blade design in wind turbine applications. The heart of this project lies in the utilization of SolidWorks Flow Simulation for a detailed analysis of the aerodynamic characteristics of the designed wind turbine. The simulation facilitated a thorough examination of airflow patterns, turbulence effects, and pressure distributions around the blades, offering valuable insights into the efficiency and energy-capturing potential of the turbine under various wind conditions. The blade design process involved a careful balance between aerodynamic efficiency and structural integrity. The SolidWorks 3D model incorporated these optimized blades into a holistic turbine design, considering factors such as hub design, tower interaction, and overall system aerodynamics [1]. The state of analytical approaches has advanced to the point where it is now feasible to grasp how a new design should function far more clearly than it was in the past.
