Effect of Air-Ducted Blade Design on Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Performance

Wind turbines without pitch control are more preferable from economical point of view but aerodynamic stall affects them more and after a critical wind speed local boundary layer separation occurs. Consequently, their power production is relatively low. In this study, air ducts added on the blade an...
