Summary
The
Tip Loss Factor
accounts for the
Reduction in lift
generated at the tips of
Wind turbine blades
due to
Three-dimensional effects
and
Vortex Formation
, resulting in less
Efficient energy capture
. This consideration is crucial for accurately modeling and optimizing the
Aerodynamic Performance
of turbines, influencing both design and
Operational Strategies
.
