Abstract

Cilj rada je konstruirati lopaticu rotora vjetroturbine snage 500 kW. Geometrija lopatice je definiran tako što je napravljen proračun duljine tetive karakterističnih poprečnih presjeka lopatice, prema izabranim avio profilima NACA. Zatim je izrađen 3D model u Inventoru koji je zatim importiran u Fluent kako bi se provela numerička analiza strujanja zraka oko lopatice.In this paper the goal was to construct blade of wind turbine rotor with 500kW. Geometry of blade was defined by making calculation of the chord length for each characteristic section of blade, for selected NACA aero profiles. After that 3D model of blade was developed in Inventor and imported to Fluent for numerical analysis of wind flow around blade
