Effects of tip losses, hub losses, amended attack angle, and amended thrust coefficient are taken into consideration to analyze aerodynamic performance of wind turbine blades based on the blade element momentum (BEM) theory. Based on amended calculation of BEM theory, a program code is developed by software named Matlab. Using a 1500 kW wind turbine as an example, aerodynamic information, performance coefficients and blade load distributions are calculated. Compared with the well-known international wind power design software called Garrad Hassan (GH) Bladed, the results have good consistency, which further verifies amendments to the model algorithms and accuracy of the calculation. As a result, the amended calculation of BEM theory can reflect blade aerodynamic performance characteristics under actual operating condition, which has good reference and practicality for the wind turbine design and evaluation.
