Betz’s Simplified Approach
Energy balance equation is reduced to:
In addition, we assume that the wind speed stay axial through the turbine:

Wake rotation In fact, the air is rotating downstream the rotor
by reaction to the torque applied to the rotor
![Page 10: Wind power Part 3: Technology San Jose State University FX Rongère February 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8a567/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Maximum conversion rate with wake rotation: Glauert’s law
To characterize this effect we introduce: Angular velocity of the rotor : ΩT
Angular velocity imparted to the flow: ω Angular induction factor: a’ = ω/2ΩT
Axial interference factor:
Blade tip speed : λ = ΩTR/v1
We can then show that the transfer power is maximum if:

to Betz’s law The optimal axial interference factor is close to 1/3 for

Lift and Drag
Lift and Drag are related:
• Lift transfers power
• Drag generates losses
•Bearings•Viscous Friction•Noise
• About 10 -15% of aerodynamic inefficiencies

Design optimization
Blade shape may be optimized using laboratory test and numerical modeling See: Wind Energy, Explained by J.F.
Manwell, J.G. McGowan and A.L.Rogers, John Wiley, 2002, for detailed explanations

Interaction between blades
Blade tip speed is limited by the interaction between the blades. Typically, if the rotation is too fast (λ>λMax) then the flow for each is perturbed by the previous one

Blade tip losses Local rotating airflow at the tip of the blades due to the
difference of pressure between the faces of the blades Similar to aircraft wings
