Aerodynamic optimisation of a small-scale wind turbine blade for low windspeed conditions

Aerodynamic optimisation of a small-scale wind turbine blade for low windspeed conditions

Thesis (MScEng (Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering))--Stellenbosch University, 2006. === ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Wind conditions in South Africa determine the need for a small-scale wind turbine to produce useable power at windspeeds below 7m/s. In this project, a range of windspeeds, w...
