Structural Design of a 5 MW Wind Turbine Blade Equipped with Boundary Layer Suction Technology: Analysis and lay-up optimisation applying a promising technology

Wind energy is a promising developing energy source. Modern wind power industry officially started in 1979 in Denmark with a turbine of few kW, and its evolution brought up to now devices of which rated power is higher than 5 MW. The size of wind turbines massively increased, and their design achieved a common standard device: horizontal axis,...
