The performance and stability of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are heavily influenced by design parameters such as tip speed ratio (TSR) and rotor solidity, both of which determine how efficiently kinetic energy from wind is converted into mechanical and subsequently electrical energy. The tip speed ratio is defined as the ratio of the tangential speed of the blade tip to the free-stream wind velocity. Mathematically, TSR (λ) is expressed as λ = (ωR)/V, where ω is the rotor angular velocity, R is the rotor radius, and V is the wind speed. This ratio is crucial because it dictates the aerodynamic efficiency of the rotor. A specific TSR corresponds to the optimal angle of attack for the rotor blades, maximizing the lift-to-drag ratio and ensuring that the rotor extracts maximum power from the wind. For example, horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) typically operate at TSR values between 6 and 8, while vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) operate at much lower TSR values around
