Abstract
Darrieus wind turbine is a windmill with the blade parallel to the axis of rotation, and with many advantages such as no control on the direction of the wind turbine. This wind turbine is exposed to a large centrifugal force throughout the blade. Therefore, it will be necessary to evaluate the strength of the blade. In this study, we evaluate the strength of both experiment and calculation for the blade of the Darrieus wind turbine made of CFRP.
