Short summary
Wind turbines with swept blades have the potential to improve power production and reduce loads, but their actual benefits are uncertain, and they are difficult to analyse. We developed a simplified yet accurate aerodynamic model, coupling two engineering models, to predict their performance. Tests against high-fidelity simulations show that the method offers reliable results with low computational effort, making it ideal for load calculations and design optimization of swept blades.
