Wind power generation system

Abstract

A wind turbine blade forming a root at an inner end, a tip at an outer end, a plurality of power sections intermediate the root and the tip, and a plurality of aerodynamic section dividers located intermediate each of the other sections. The aerodynamic section dividers are configured to aerodynamically isolate their adjoining sections to limit the lateral flow of air between them while in use on the wind turbine. The blade has a low aspect ratio and is operated at a high advance rate. The aerodynamic section dividers are close enough together to soften the stall characteristics of the blade, and thus the blade can be operated at high angles of attack.
