Performance Testing and Dimensional Analysis of Multi-Blade Wind Turbine for Low Wind Speed Applications

Abstract:

This article is to present the study results of small multi blade wind turbine for use in low wind speed area. In this experiment, the wind turbine has a diameter is 1 m, 30 blades. Each blade has the chord length of 6.5 cm, the length of 0.25 m, which has a curvature plate ratio of 0.15, and blade setting angle of 30 degree. Wind turbine was tested by wind tunnel at wind velocity of 3, 4 and 5 m/s. The results from the test run of, this the wind turbine give maximum mechanical power in each wind velocity of 3.66, 9.91 and 21.76 watts, respectively. From the dimensional analysis of wind rotor turbine by using Buckingham Pi theorem, the wind turbine is up to two times as large that is 2 m diameter; give maximum mechanical power increased to 14.64, 39.24 and 87.04 watts, this power can be generate electric power or use for water pumping for a household.
