A Wind Turbine Blade has been modelled in Solidworks and its simulation implemented in ANSYS frameworks. Structural, fatigue and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis has been carried out to determine the performance of this blade. The analysis incorporates a blade velocity of 100 m/sec. High Lift to Drag Parameter has been considered for obtaining optimal performance of this blade. The lift-to-drag ratio happens to be a key design parameter for benchmarking such blades. k-ε turbulent model was adopted for our CFD based simulation. Fine meshing was carried out for improving accuracy of results.
