Rotor 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 کاملA Multi-Element Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbine
A new class of diffuser augmented wind turbines (DAWTs) is presented. The new diffuser concept exploits aero-dynamic principles for the creation of high-lift airfoil configurations known from the aircraft industry. Combining this with our objective of obtaining a compact power-efficient design has enabled creation of a family of DAWT designs with energy capture potentials which exceed the power...
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...
متن کاملA Prescribed-Wake Vortex Line Method for Aerodynamic Analysis and Optimization of Multi-Rotor Wind Turbines
This paper extends the prescribed wake vortex lattice/line method (VLM) to perform aerodynamic analysis and optimization of dual-rotor wind turbines (DRWTs). A DRWT turbine consists of a large, primary rotor placed co-axially behind a smaller, secondary rotor. The additional vortex system introduced by the secondary rotor of a DRWT is modeled while taking into account the singularities that occ...
متن کاملMulti-Element Airfoil Configurations for Wind Turbines
The extremely thick blade root airfoils of the modern megawatt-scale wind turbines are prone to having sharp stall characteristics with associated unsteady aerodynamic blade loading and fatigue. With current technology designs reaching 45% thickness, these thick airfoils are incapable of producing high lift, and as a consequence they are aerodynamically and structurally sub-optimal. A computati...
