The newly designed airfoils provide a 0.75% increase in power coefficient, enhancing overall energy output.
Compared to existing designs, the new series shows a 4.3% reduction in flap-wise bending moment and 7.0% in blade tip displacement.
A multi-objective function was utilized to optimize the design, balancing power and structural integrity effectively.
Optimized airfoils may significantly extend the operational reliability and lifespan of offshore wind turbines.
