Performance Analysis and Optimization of a Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine with a High Tip-Speed Ratio

In this work, the aerodynamic performance and optimization of a vertical-axis wind turbine with a high tip-speed ratio are theoretically studied on the basis of the two-dimensional airfoil theory. By dividing the rotating plane of the airfoil into the upwind and downwind areas, the relationship amon...
