Performance of a staggered multi-rotor horizontal axis wind turbine system
AbstractA simple model combining the momentum, blade element and vortex theories was used to investigate the performance of a system of staggered horizontal axis wind rotors with low overlap area. It was predicted that less than 15% of power is lost due to upstream rotor blocking. The effect of overlap area was studied. The normal and tangetiall loads on the downwind rotor were examined particularly at the overlap region. These were found to have a different pattern from the other disk area.
