dc.description.abstract Present thesis discuss a method to calculate the overall design, performance and structural analysis of a horizontal axis wind turbine. For a particular wind velocity, the optimum rotor configuration for twist and chord is determined using the momentum theory and the blade element theory, assuming zero drag,no coning and no tilting angle. After determining the optimal aerodynamic shape of the blade, the forces and moments on blades and tower top are calculated. At this stage, the equations may be extended to include the effects of coning and tilting angles, and the effect of several wind conditions such as wind gradient, wind shift and tower shadow. In this thesis, effects of coning and tilting angles are not considered. But the analysis of stability by determining the forces and moments acting on a horizontal axis wind turbine when yawed to non-axial flow is presented. The effect of tower blockage on the stability at various yaw angle is also considered. Three types of blade shape such as, Optimum-chord Optimum-twist, Linear-chord Linear-twist and Linear-chord Zero-twist are considered. en_US
