Abstract

 According to the review, the extraction of electricity using wind turbines can be done in remote regions with good wind speed. Wind speed Firozkouh as a pilot region to investigate the airfoil NREL’s 835 with wind speed 5.6m/s with wind density 145W/m2 is intended. By analyzing Q-blade and Ansys Fluent software on the above airfoil and with regional wind speed, the values of Cl and Cd were obtained equal to 0.595 and 0.213, respectively. Using the mentioned software, a blade with a length of 1.3 m has been designed. According to the designed blade, the rotational output power of the turbine was analyzed, and the maximum power produced by the wind turbine at a speed of 20m/s, the output power is equal to 110W. This type of airfoil is suitable for regions with high wind speed15 m/s and b length of at least 2m. Extract that for a small wind turbine is a very good production capacity that can be used in designs related to the construction of turbines and even the creation of small-scale power plants.
