Application of Simultaneous Symmetric and Cambered Airfoils in Novel Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

Two novel four-blade H-darrieus vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have been proposed for enhancing self-start capability and power production. The two different airfoil types for the turbines are assessed: a cambered S815 airfoil and a symmetric NACA0018 airfoil. For the first novel wind turbine c...
