Abstract: A new approach for optimizing the blade profile of a horizontal axis wind turbine is proposed in this paper, based on the combination of the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method and Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD). The resulting algorithm was implemented in MATLAB (R2010A). To investigate the applicability of the proposed BEM-PGD method, simulations were conducted using the NREL phase VI turbine. By focusing on the tangential force coefficient as a parametrized solution, the study demonstrated a 21.7% improvement in the power coefficient relative to the baseline blade corresponding to a 20 kW turbine, while the tip speed ratio (TSR) ranged from 1 to 12, as assessed through a quantitative metric comparing the optimized and reference curves. These advancements are attributed to the algorithm's capability to parameterize the solution and to select the appropriate airfoil type, thickness, chord, and twist, allowing for an optimized and realistic blade design.
