Banana midrib, plant morphology, aerodynamic, air foilAbstract
This research investigates the feasibility of an air foil profile derived from the morphology of the banana midrib in a low-speed horizontal axis wind turbine blade. A blade is designed, analysed and modelled using the simulation software QBLADE (BEM Method) and ANSYS Fluent (CFD method) with wind speeds varying between 3 and 7 meters per second, a maximum chord length of 3.180 meters, a radius of 12.5 meters and a TSR of 6. The blades can generate a significant amount of energy, namely 3.7 kW at 3 m/s wind speed and 48 kW at 7 m/s wind speed, with an average coefficient of power of 0.46. This research contributes to the potential effectiveness of using plant-inspired air foil profiles as a substitute for conventional blade air foil profiles in wind power generation.
