Effects of end plates on performance of a small straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine

The time mean characteristics and the torque variation of the straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine attached with various end plates were examined in wind tunnel experiments, and they were associated with the effect of the wing tip shape on the performance of the wind turbine. In the low tip sp...
