Static aeroelastic optimization of composite wind turbine blades using variable stiffness laminates: Exploring twist coupled composite blades in stall control

There is a growth in the energy consumption of the world, leading to rapid depletion of natural resources, such as fossil fuels. Added to that, the environmental impact of fossil fuels (e.g. global warming) makes a renewable source of energy a better alternative for power generation. Among renewable energy sources, generating energy from wind is...
