Effect of Stator Blades on the Startup Dynamics of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) are omni-directional, low-cost, low-efficiency wind power extractors. A conventional drag-based VAWT consists of multiple thin rotor blades with a typical peak Tip Speed Ratio (λ) of < 1. Their lower cut-in speed and maintenance cost make them ideal for power g...
