Probabilistic Design Space Mapping: Application to Airfoil Design for HAWT

This work presents an airfoil probabilistic design methodology for wind energy applications, using an analytical approach to estimate the angle-of-attack fluctuations produced by non-uniformities in the incoming wind field. The contemplated wind speed perturbations include wind shear, yaw misalignment and atmospheric turbulence, and several...
