Structural Analysis and Performance Test of Light Bladed Wind Rotor

Wind energy is the most rated source of renewable energy in the present world. But it is not feasible to extract this form of energy everywhere due to the variation of wind speed. In Bangladesh, Rajshahi city, in particular reveals that the average wind speed is below the cut-in-wind speed. So, it is difficult to generate electricity. The main goal of this work is to perform a structural analysis of a light wind turbine blade so that it can rotate in lower wind speed. Light blades can move faster and increases the rpm. The mechanical efficiency of the wind turbine depends on rpm. The maximum mechanical efficiency of about 35% has been obtained from this work.
