Experimental and Numerical Analysis of the Dynamical Behavior of a Small Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine under Unsteady Conditions: Part I

An efficient and reliable exploitation of small horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) is a complex task: these kinds of devices actually modulate strongly variable loads with rotational speeds of the order of hundreds of revolutions per minute. The complex flow conditions to which small HAWTs are sub...
