The purpose of this software is the design and aerodynamic simulation of wind turbine blades. The integration in XFOIL allows for the user to rapidly design custom airfoils and compute their performance curves, Extrapolating the performance data to a range of 360° Angle of attack , and directly integrate them into a wind turbine rotor simulation.
Germanischer Lloyd found FAST suitable for "the calculation of onshore wind turbine loads for design and certification." [3] [4] The open source software QBlade developed by the wind energy research group of Hermann Föttinger Institute of TU Berlin (Chair of Fluid Dynamics) is a BEM code coupled with the airfoil simulation code XFOIL.
WindStation takes the terrain description in raster format as well as wind observations and atmospheric stability as input data. Solution is provided for the non-linear fluid dynamics equations, with inclusion of Coriolis effects. [2] The implemented nesting technique enables the user to run the simulation with measured wind data or mesoscale data.
PSIM is an Electronic circuit simulation software package, designed specifically for use in power electronics and motor drive simulations but can be used to simulate any electronic circuit. Developed by Powersim, PSIM uses nodal analysis and the trapezoidal rule integration [2] as the basis of its simulation algorithm. PSIM provides a schematic ...
Vortex generators are most often used to delay flow separation.To accomplish this they are often placed on the external surfaces of vehicles [4] and wind turbine blades. On both aircraft and wind turbine blades they are usually installed quite close to the leading edge of the aerofoil in order to maintain steady airflow over the control surfaces at the trailing edge.

Wind turbines convert wind energy to electrical energy for distribution. Conventional horizontal axis turbines can be divided into three components: The rotor, which is approximately 20% of the wind turbine cost, includes the blades for converting wind energy to low-speed rotational energy.
