Numerical tests of the power coefficient the VAWT with ODGV

Abstract

The article contains results of numerical tests and an analysis of the operation of a wind turbine with a vertical axis of rotation equipped with air guides. The studies show that the analyzed solution has a higher value of the power factor than the classic wind turbines with a vertical axis of rotation. As part of the numerical tests, the value of the power coefficient was determined depending on the speed ratio in the entire operating range, for several values of the air inflow velocity.
