Assessment of low-order theories for analysis and design of shrouded wind turbines using CFD
The use of a shroud around the rotor of a wind turbine has been known to augment the airflow through the rotor plane and hence result in improved performance. This work uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to assess the validity of several simple theories which attempt to extend Betz theory to shrouded turbines. Two CFD models are employed and compared to predictions of previously published ...
متن کاملRotor Design for Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbines
Diffuser augmented wind turbines (DAWTs) can increase mass flow through the rotor substantially, but have often failed to fulfill expectations. We address high-performance diffusers, and investigate the design requirements for a DAWT rotor to efficiently convert the available energy to shaft energy. Several factors can induce wake stall scenarios causing significant energy loss. The causality b...
متن کاملInterference of Wind Turbines with Different Yaw Angles of the Upstream Wind Turbine
This experimental study was conducted in a wind tunnel using two turbines in tandem arrangement and downstream turbine is located at X/D=2. The purpose was to investigate how yawing the upstream turbine will affect the performance of the downstream turbine as well as the upstream turbine. Wind loading (thrust force), rotational frequency and power output are the parameters used to define the pe...
متن کاملApplication of a Diffuser Structure to Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines
The effects of using a wind acceleration device (wind lens) with vertical-axis wind turbines in wind tunnel experiments were examined. A wind lens consists of a diffuser and flanges, and this study investigated the optimum parameters of their configuration with regard to the power augmentation of the turbines. The wind lens with a flat-panel-type diffuser demonstrated power augmentation by a fa...
