The Starting Behavior Analysis of a Micro Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine

Abstract:

The wind turbines have gained a wide range of applications in Renewable Energy Sources (RES) by virtue of its dominant advantages, and it has achieved almost the state-of-the-art from the engineering point of view. Nevertheless, the starting behavior which plays a prominent role in wind power generation has achieved few studies up to this moment. We conducted this analysis of a micro horizontal axis wind turbine (MHAWT) on its starting behavior to give insight into its start-up torque as well as its start-up speed on an assumption that it is rigid body, and some relative simplification on its structure are adopted meanwhile. The wind turbine's power coefficient C_P, tip-speed-ratio l along with torque coefficient C_T were taken into consideration and discussed to a large extent in order to having a relative clear cognition of its operational characteristics.
