Abstract

In this book, we have tried to give an overview of aerodynamics of wind turbines and its application to blade design. During the last few decades rotor size (see Fig. 10.1) increased more than one order of magnitude (exponentially). After a five-year period of stagnation, starting in 2010 there seems to be exponential rotor size growth occurring again culminating so far with design and construction of 2220 m diameter 12 MW offshore wind turbine.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It is interesting to observe [5] the difference for residential electricity prices around the world from 2012 to 2035 (in US$ per MWh): Japan: 240, European Union 200, USA 120–130 and 70–90 for China. Only in China, prices for industrial consumers are higher than for residential consumers.
