Abstract: In scientific literature, when the aerodynamic design of a horizontal axis wind turbine is discussed, different brake state models are presented. The brake state models are implemented within a BEM code which is a 1-D numerical code, based on Glauert propeller theory, and able to predict HAWT performance. This code provides reliable results only if a proper brake state model and aerodynamic post-stall model are implemented.
