Abstract:

Fossil energy is becoming less and less, as one of new energy, many countries pay more attention on wind energy. Magnus wind turbine has an advantage of simple structure, low cost. It can work well at a very low wind speed and the control system is very simple. As the cylinder blade of traditional Magnus wind turbine has a relatively low lift to drag ratio, This paper provide two new type blade of Magnus wind turbine and it can greatly improve lift to drag ratio of Magnus wind turbine. This paper will use CFD software Fluent, through 2D simulation, compare the lift to drag ratio of cylinder blades. At last, do experiments to compare the performance of these blades.
