What is Optimizing Wind Turbine Blade Design about?

The document summarizes a student project to optimize the design of large wind turbine blades through developing figures of merit analyzing tradeoffs between structure, material, cost and other qualities. Initial analytical solutions were developed to estimate aerodynamic loads and blade sizing requirements. Finite element analysis was then used to more efficiently vary design parameters and obtain more accurate load profiles. While some optimization was achieved, further work is needed to fully develop all
