Numerical Study of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Rotor Configuration

Abstract:

This paper presents a numerical study of a vertical axis wind rotor configuration. Below constant wind condition 8m/s, rotor power performance was investigated over variable turbine configurations. Illustrated by the simulation, increasing rotor cord to radius ratio or blade numbers will enhance the generation of vortexes and flow separation on blades, leading to the significant degradation of turbine performance. It can be conclude form the numerical analysis, a vertical axis wind turbine with high height to radius ratio applied in urban areas experienced better performance when operating in optimal tip speed ratio, with rotor cord to radius ratio between 0.2 and 0.4 and blade number of 3 or 4.
