“…New combined-type VAWTs were proposed to combine the features of Savonius (drag type) and Darrieus (lift type) turbines to improve the turbine performance. 14,15 Arpino et al 16 simulated the power coefficients for an innovative Darrieus-style VAWT with auxiliary straight blades in a recent study. Based on the simulation and experimental results, they claimed that the most suitable model for the performance simulation study of the micro turbine under investigation is the Spalart-Allmaras model.…”

This article investigates a drag-type vertical-axis wind turbine that is targeted for small-scale wind energy system applications. Based on aerodynamics models, the three-dimensional simulation studies have been carried out to obtain the force distributions along blades and eventually the torque and power coefficients for different vertical-axis wind turbine configurations. An optimal vertical-axis wind turbine configuration is chosen based on the comparative analysis, and a 2 kW prototype system has been implemented based on the design. The effectiveness of the three-dimensional models and simulation results has been verified by the measured data from the actual vertical-axis wind turbine system. The wake impacts to the vertical-axis wind turbine caused by nearby objects are also analyzed. The simulation results and the actual operation experiences show that the proposed system has the characteristics of low cut-in speed, high power density, and robustness to adjacent objects (such as buildings and other wind turbines), which make it suitable for smallscale wind energy systems in populated areas including urban environment.

“…VAWTs have been long time studied ever since it was first introduced, especially in recent years. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Three different airfoil profiles were studied and compared for small-scale wind turbines. 12 A Savonius turbine (i.e.…”
