This paper presents structural studies of a medium scale composite wind turbine blade construction made of epoxy glass fiber for a 750kW rated power stall regulated horizontal axis wind turbine system. The complex geometry of the blade with a skin-spar foam sandwich structure was generated by utilizing commercial code ANSYS finite element package. Dimensions of twist, chord and thickness were developed by computer program. NREL S-series airfoils with different chord thickness are used along current blade cross-sections. The current design method uses blade element momentum (BEM) theory to complete satisfactory blade design and can be carried out using a spreadsheet, lift and drag curves for the chosen aerofoil. According to composite laminate theory and finite element method, optimal blade design was obtained. The focus is on the structural static strength of wind turbine blades loaded in flap-wise direction and methods for optimizing the blade cross-section to improve structural reliability. Moreover, the natural frequencies and modal shapes of the rotor blade were calculated for defining dynamic characteristics. Structural analysis was performed by using the finite element method in order to evaluate and confirm the blade to be sound and stable under various load conditions.
