Aerodynamic models for Darrieus-type straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbines
TL;DR: In this article, the main aerodynamic models that have been used for performance prediction and design of straight-bladed Darrieus-type VAWTs are presented. But, the authors did not discuss the performance of these models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wind tunnel performance data for two- and three-bucket Savonius rotors
TL;DR: In this article, a Savonius rotor wind turbine was tested in the Vought Corporation Systems Division 4.9- x 6.1m Low Speed Wind Tunnel to determine aerodynamic performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on the performance of Savonius wind turbines
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review on the performance of Savonius wind turbines and present relevant information about their performance, bringing a discussion about the performance and benefits of using this type of turbines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigations on single stage modified Savonius rotor
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of geometrical parameters on the performance of the rotors in terms of coefficient of static torque, coefficient of torque and coefficient of power was investigated in an open jet wind tunnel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance tests on helical Savonius rotors
TL;DR: In this paper, a helical Savonius rotor with a twist of 90° was proposed to decrease the variation in static torque from 0° to 360°, and the performance of the helical rotor with and without shaft was compared in an open jet wind tunnel.
