Since the issue of CSIR Report ME 1619 - 'The aerodynamics of axial flow wind power turbines' in 1979, further work has been carried out in the Aeromechanics Division into methods of predicting the optimum rotor performance of horizontal axis wind turbines. The effect of the blade configuration on performance at off-design operation has also been examined. In the report, a method of analysis which includes the effects of blade tip losses and aerodynamic drag, is presented. The extension and the alterations to the analysis originally presented in the above-mentioned report ME 1619 were developed by Mr R L B Jolly of the Aeromechanics Division.
