Abstract: Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory based numerical codes are employed, both in the scientific and industrial field, for designing wind turbines and appraising their performance. Using BEM theory, mono-dimensional mathematical codes can be created. They have very short processing times and high reliability. However, this is related to the solution of a few problems peculiar to these mathematical models.
