Abstract
In the present era, the world is struggling for energy so lots of researches are being conducted to meet the demand. The wind energy is a renewable source of energy and it is clean and pollution free too. So it is necessary to optimize the wind power generation . In this research a small wind turbine with two different designs aerofoil section NACA 4415 and NACA 5520 was developed for experimenting the performance of a Horizontal axis wind turbine with varying wind speed. The blade thickness was taken 15% and 20% of chord length. Camber area is 4% and 5% of the whole area and camber position is at the 40% and 50% of the chord length. And tested for its mechanical efficiency. An improved value of efficiency was noticed for The blades of aerofoil section NACA 5520 is 39% as compared to NACA 4415 is 37% were twisted from root to tip about 12 to 13 degree and RPM was noticed. In the present research we obtained an average rotor efficiency of 39% .Also it was noticed that the mechanical efficiency increases with increase in wind speed.
