          Abstract

          This study presents a new wind turbine blade design for overcoming the restrictions of large-scale wind turbines deployment. The road design, terrain nature, and logistic capabilities represent the main barriers to maneuver blades during a journey to a windy site. The natural finger and the Fibonacci sequence inspired the author to design a new blade that distinguishes with the ability to fold. This study focuses on the aerodynamic design of a 1.5-MW conventional blade and modifies its skin and spar to carry out the aim. The ability to fold enables the blade to maneuver and avoid terrain-road restrictions. The augmented maneuverability of this concept simplifies a route scenario and reduces transportation cost. This study simulates the added attribute and investigates the design modifications effect by using the finite element method.
