Abstract
This paper is focused on investigating some potential benefits of microtabs in increasing of the energy capture capabilities of blade rather than load control systems. In this design case study, simulation test was performed on a design blade wind turbine AWT-27 (Aerodynamic Wind Turbine–27) equipped with distribution microtabs along the blade span. AWTSim tool has been used to analyze aerodynamic performance and the optimization tool of AWTSimD was investigated the optimization of distribution microtabs and pretwist as a way to increase energy capture capability of blades. Developing a genetic algorithm optimisation tool (AWTSimD) which was especially designed for wind turbine blades and integrating it with the aerodynamic performance analysis (AWTSim). The design optimisation tool was employed to conduct design case studies. The results of design case studies on wind turbine AWT-27 reveal that the optimization of distribution microtabs and pretwist are key parameters to effect the amount of increasing for the power extraction. For constant speed rotors, adding microtabs without re-designing the blade topology can extract the same amount of power production compared with the baseline, while by redesigning blade for both of optimisation microtabs distribution and pretwist the overall enhancement of power generating able to be reached by up to 4%.
