Bibliography and Literature
I have just started this page. More literature will come soon. (Alvaro)
Introduction to Wind Energy
Non-Technical Litterature
Project Planning and Finance
Community-led wind power [free, EN]
Technical Litterature
Dr. Gary Johnson's Renewable Wind Energy Systems Revised January 29, 2004 [free, EN]
Making a CK220 Profile blade [free, DE]
Software
Qblade (TU, Berlin) Released under GPL. This software provides an open solution for the design and aerodynamical computation of wind turbine blades. QBlade also includes post processing of conducted rotor simulations and gives deep insight into all relevant blade and ro tor variables for verification, to compare different rotor configurations, or even to study the numerical algorithm (Blade Element Momentum Theory) and the dependency’s among the aerodynamic variables themselves. It integrates with XFOIL, also released under GPL.
'XFOIL (MIT, Boston) Released under GPL.
Used for design and analysis of subsonic isolated airfoils. Stuff you can do: Viscous (or inviscid) analysis of an existing airfoil, allowing
forced or free transition, transitional separation bubbles, limited trailing edge separation, lift and drag predictions just beyond CLmax, Karman-Tsien compressibility correction, fixed or varying Reynolds and/or Mach numbers. for more see tutorials here, or here
