Effects of blade section on performance of butterfly wind turbines as double-blade VAWTs

A butterfly wind turbine (BWT) is a kind of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with closed-loop blades. These blades form a double-blade structure, which is expected to improve self-starting properties and reduce energy costs because of their simple construction. Two models of micro BWTs (diameter: 0...
