Power Output Enhancement of Straight-Bladed Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines with Surrounding Structures

Power Output Enhancement of Straight-Bladed Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines with Surrounding Structures

Wind tunnel experiments were conducted by installing wind-acceleration structures on both sides of a straight-bladed vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) to improve the output performance of the turbine. In the case of Venturi-shape structures, a curved shape with a large outlet opening produced a high...
