Description
Summary:This presentation focuses on the calculation for small vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) for an urban application. The fixed-pitch straight – bladed vertical axis wind turbine (SB-VAWT) is one of the simplest types of wind turbine and accepts wind from any angle (no yaw system). This turbine is useful for moderate wind speeds (3 - 6 m/s). A case study is presented based upon the use of well documented symmetrical NACA 0012 turbine blade profile. We describe a solution for VAWT. To perform a linear static analysis in the structure, the commercial finite element analysis code ANSYS is used because of its flexibility for handling information in files written in a more or less free format.
