EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATIONS ON EFFICIENCY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HELICAL AND STRAIGHT BLADED VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINES

While in operation, the straight bladed vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are affected by the variations in loadings that result in torque and power oscillations. This problem is considered to be solved by adopting helical blades. However, the way this solution affects the turbine’s efficiency is...
