Multi-Objective Optimization and Optimal Airfoil Blade Selection for a Small Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) for Application in Regions with Various Wind Potential

The type of airfoil with small wind turbine blades should be selected based on the wind potential of the area in which the turbine is used. In this study, 10 low Reynolds number airfoils, namely, BW-3, E387, FX 63-137, S822, S834, SD7062, SG6040, SG6043, SG6051, and USNPS4, were selected and their p...
