The lower 80 rpm value is used to start up the windmill and for wind speeds up to 8 m/s, whereas the 120 rpm setting is used for wind speeds between 8 and 14 m/s. The design power of 90 kW is reached at a wind speed of 13 m/s. For comparison, the chart also contains the power curve of a windmill using conventional airfoil sections, which result ...

Aircraft airfoils used on wind-turbine blades are often used at a lower Reynolds number than that intended by their designers. In addition, the airfoils are often scaled to a greater thickness, which often leads to undesirable performance characteristics. The performance characteristics of the NACA 23XXX series of airfoils, for example ...
