Scaling of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Dynamic Stall
Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) are an alternative to horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) for wind and tidal energy harvesting applications. Studies of vertical axis wind turbines have heavily invested in understanding the behaviour of the complete turbine, but often with only cursory assessment of the contributions of unsteady aerodynamics of individual blades. This paper experimentally ex...
متن کاملVertical Axis Wind Turbine Case Study
This case study investigates the generator of a large offshore Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). In particular this case study focuses on the effect of the inherent cyclic torque loading of the VAWT on the generator in terms of the costs and losses experienced. A spectrum of torque control strategies were created based on the ratio q of the allowed electrical torque variation to the mechanical...
متن کاملExperimental characterization of vertical-axis wind turbine noise.
Vertical-axis wind turbines are wind-energy generators suitable for use in urban environments. Their associated noise thus needs to be characterized and understood. As a first step, this work investigates the relative importance of harmonic and broadband contributions via model-scale wind-tunnel experiments. Cross-spectra from a pair of flush-mounted wall microphones exhibit both components, bu...

متن کاملAerodynamic Analysis of a Helical Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are gradually receiving more and more interest due to their lower sensitivity to the yawed wind direction. Compared with straight blades VAWT, blades with a certain helicity show a better aerodynamic performance and less noise emission. Nowadays computational fluid dynamics technology is frequently applied to VAWTs and gives results that can reflect real flow...
