  1. 1. Two-dimensional Study of Blade Profiles for a Savonius Wind Turbine

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Johanna Sundberg; Martina Lundberg; Julia Solhed; Aikaterini Manousidou; [2020]
    Keywords : Savonius rotor; vertical axis wind turbines; Ansys Fluent; k-omega SST; overlap ratio; blade arc angle;

    Abstract : A Savonius wind turbine is a self-starting vertical axis rotor. It can be designed to be compact in size and also produces less noise which makes it suitable to integrate into urban spaces such as rooftops and sign-poles. READ MORE

    Abstract : Several problems concern about energy are frequently discussed in recent decades, such as the shortage of traditional energy resource, the increase of energy price and the destruction of living environment by energy conversion. To solve these problems, sustainable development of energy become a preferential task all around the world. READ MORE

  4. 3. DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF PITCHED-PLATE VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE FOR DOMESTIC POWER GENERATION

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för bygg- energi- och miljöteknik

    Author : Ajith Hikkaduwa Vithanage; [2012]
    Keywords : sustainable energy engineering; VAWT; Flat plate VAWT;

    Abstract : Wind energy is identified a promising energy resource in Sri Lanka. Therefore, it is important to use proper technologies for efficient energy capturing in order to minimize cost of energy. Small scale wind turbines are usually installed in constricted places (particularly in urban areas) where wind flow is turbulent and difficult to predict. READ MORE

  5. 4. Multi-Body Unsteady Aerodynamics in 2D Applied to aVertical-Axis Wind Turbine Using a Vortex Method

    University essay from Elektricitetslära

    Author : David Österberg; [2010]
    Keywords : wind power vertical flow;

    Abstract : Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) have many advantages over traditional Horizontalaxis wind turbines (HAWT).One of the more severe problem of VAWTs are the complicated aerodynamicbehavior inherent in the concept. Incontrast to HAWTs the blades experience varying angle of attack during its orbitalmotion. READ MORE
