Abstract

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 3D model was then meticulously crafted using SolidWorks, integrating aerodynamic principles and structural considerations. 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. QBlade facilitated the parametric generation of blade geometries, enabling an iterative optimization process. 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].
