EVOLUTIONARY DESIGN OF WIND TURBINE BLADES
An automatic design environment is implemented for the aerodynamic design of wind turbine blades. This tool involves the integration of evolutionary techniques and a simple, fast, and robust aerodynamic simulator which was developed for the prediction of the performance of any turbine blade produced by the evolutionary process.
