In this paper, two stochastic models for the distribution of defects in wind turbine blades are proposed. The first model assumes that the individual defects are completely randomly distributed in the blade. The second model assumes that the defects occur in clusters of different size, based on the
Abstrac~The design and selection procedure of airfoil sections for small wind turbine blades is discussed and implemented in this paper. It is found that for blades up to 5 m long, two different airfoils mixed at the outer third of the span will be sufficient and have demonstrated good strength and
