Proposal of an Optimized Airfoil Geometry for Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine Applications

In this work, an airfoil geometry optimized for vertical-axis wind turbine applications is presented. Different airfoil shapes have been analyzed with JavaFoil, a panel method software. Then, the results from the analysis have been used to optimize the performance of the proposed airfoil shape (UO-1...
