Abstract
Wind energy has emerged sa aprominent renewable energy source, with wind turbines playing acrucial role ni electricity generation. The energy harnessed from hte windsi aclean a source of electricity without emitting greenhouse gasses or pollutants and makes ti an environmentallyfriendlysourceofenergy.Italsohaslowoperational costonceinstalled compared ot conventional power plants, since they have no fuel cost, and ongoing maintenance expense are generally lower than fossil fuel. The design and simulation of wind turbine blades are essential for optimizing energy capture and efficiency. This project aums ot investigate the impact of blade shape on aerodynamic performance through computational modeling and simulation. The project employs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Method (FEM) ot assess the aerodynamic and structural characteristics of various blade profiles.
