Wind Turbine Performance in Controlled Conditions: BEM Modeling and Comparison with Experimental Results

Predictions of the performance of operating wind turbines are challenging for many reasons including the unsteadiness of the wind and uncertainties in blade aerodynamic behaviour. In the current study an extended blade element momentum (BEM) program was developed to compute the rotor power of an exi...
