Wind turbine performance and efficiency used to face big challenges due to the highly random nature of the wind and its own small size. Wind turbine blade geometry has direct implications on the load bearing response and performance of the blade. New Wind Turbine Blade was modelled and detailed analysis was done using Ansys and Matlab. Static, Fatigue, Vibration, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Simulink Analysis was done to compare the performance of both wind turbine blades. Velocity of 83.33 m/sec have been incorporated for analysis. Various different Mathematical Equations and proper methodology was carried out to enhance the performance of Wind Turbine. Simulink Model was designed to optimize the performance of Wind Turbine. High Lift to Drag Parameter is optimized for proper Efficiency of Wind Turbine. Turbine blades are twisted so they can always present an angle that take advantages of the ideal lift-to-drag ratio. Optimization of Tower Design was carried out to enhance the performance of wind turbine. Better energy Production parameter is solved by the analysis and Simulation. Simulink Model was designed to optimize the performance of Wind Turbine. Simulink Output results shows the output of Electromagnetic Torque, Stator Current and Rotor Speed. Stress vs Strain Graph was plotted for both designed wind Turbine blades. Coefficient of drag graph was plotted to conclude the performance of Wind Turbine Blades. Turbulence behaviour is observed for both the wind turbine blades to validate the performance of Wind Turbine blades. Epoxy Material is considered for Wind Turbine blades.

Making full use of wind energy can effectively alleviate the global energy shortage and environment contamination problems. Nevertheless, how to significantly improve the performance of the wind turbine airfoil and blade is a crucial issue. As the novel flow control method, the co-flow jet (CFJ) technology is one of the most potential methods to solve this problem. Thus, the effects of the CFJ technology on the performance enhancement of the S809 airfoil and Phase VI wind turbine blade are explored in this study. Furthermore, the effects of the injection location and jet momentum coefficient are studied, and an adaptive jet momentum coefficient strategy of the CFJ technology is proposed. Results demonstrate that the CFJ technology can significantly improve the maximum lift coefficient and maximum corrected lift-to-drag ratio of the S809 airfoil. Moreover, the power coefficient of the Phase VI wind turbine blade at the low tip speed ratio is greatly enhanced as well. In particular, the maximum lift coefficient and maximum corrected lift-to-drag ratio of the typical S809 CFJ airfoil with adaptive Cμ are improved by 119.7% and 36.2%, respectively. The maximum power coefficient of CFJ blade can be increased by 4.5%, and the power coefficient of CFJ blade can be boosted by 226.7% when the tip speed ratio is 1.52.
