RISVertical Axis Wind Turbine Aerodynamics: Summary and Review of Momentum Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Momentum models or streamtube models represent one of the fundamental approaches in modeling the aerodynamics of straight bladed vertical axis wind turbine (SB-VAWT) of Darrieus type. They are based on momentum (actuator ...
Numerical Investigation of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Performance Characterization Using New Variable Pitch Control Scheme
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A double multiple streamtube model coupled with variable pitch methodology is used to analyze the performance characteristics of a small-scale straight-bladed Darrieus type vertical axis wind turbine (SB-VAWT). The numerical ...
