2. Design Optimization of Savonius Wind Turbine using CFD Simulations
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknikAbstract : This thesis is based on a simulation of the Savonius wind turbine. The Savoniusturbine is a simple vertical axis device, which has half cylindrical blades attached to the main shaft opposite to each other which creates the drag force from incoming wind and generates mechanical torque which drives the generator for electricity generation.

3. Load Control Aerodynamics in Offshore Wind Turbines
University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologiAbstract : Due to the increase of rotor size in horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) during the past 25 years in order to achieve higher power output, all wind turbine components and blades in particular, have to withstand higher structural loads. This upscalingproblem could be solved by applying technologies capable of reducing aerodynamic loads the rotor has to withstand, either with passive or active control solutions. READ MORE
