N2 - This paper proposes a new method for horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) angle of attack (AOA) determination. Despite common circular planes for data extraction, here, data is extracted on rectangular planes. NREL Phase VI is used for validation of the method. Results show that even in a high velocity wind the proposed plane can be an appropriate choice. Furthermore, the average radial distributions of axial and tangential induction factors are calculated based on the velocity values at the planes. Moreover, local normal force coefficients are calculated and then, the local AOA are compared with 2D results and other 3D values for different wind speeds.
