Improving design and performance of three-bladed vertical axis wind turbine
The purpose of this study was to define and determine the method for modifying the cross-section of airfoil of a vertical axis wind turbine. The objective of this work was to obtain a maximum torque with wind turbine design constraints enforced. These constraints included solidity, tip speed ratio, and blade profile. An airfoil cross-section exists for which the torque can be maximized. This is possible under the condition of fixing the solidity and tip speed ratio. To accomplish this task, an iterative design process was necessary. To maximize the torque, the design system combined geometry generation and tools that generate hybrid mesh automatically. This was done using a simulation software, computational fluid dynamics. Extensive research and general mathematical equations were used to achieve an improved blade design that maximizes the efficiency of the wind turbine.
