The United Nations have declared the effects of climate change as the “defining issue of our time” (United Nations, 2019). As a result of increased industrialization in the last century to keep up with the demands of a growing global population, the global output of greenhouse emissions has rocketed, which is linked to the shifting and abnormal weather patterns of the planet. Electricity and heat production alone are attributed to generating 25% of greenhouse gas emissions (Edenhofer, et al.). To alleviate the increasing levels of carbon emission there is an effort to transition in green energy power generation sources like wind energy that is abundantly available in the midwestern United States. This study aims to implement the Blade Element Method derived modeling methods for predicting the performance of a wind turbine. The experimental results obtained from the MEXICO project is employed as the validation source for the research.
