Abstrakt: The purpose of wind turbine design is to produce the most power under a given set of meteorological conditions, which is determined by the material and blade shape. The development of machinery that converts wind energy into more useable forms is required for its utilization. This is often accomplished by first using a windmill to mechanically convert the linear wind velocity into a rotational motion, followed by the use of a generator or alternator to convert the rotational energy of the windmill blades into electrical energy. The wind turbine blade is modeled in Ansys for three different materials in this work: structural steel, epoxy carbon, and aluminum alloy. These materials were chosen for their distinct qualities. After that, the ANSYS program is used to investigate the finite element analysis of a wind turbine blade. The investigation's goal is to check the blade's strength and assess each of the aforementioned materials in order to select the best one for the wind turbine blade. As a consequence of the Ansys results, Epoxy carbon and structural steel have the lowest overall value in all conditions. However, mass structural steel exhibits a significant fluctuation, leading to the conclusion that epoxy carbon is better suited for constructing windmill blades. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
