6 FAQs about [Semi-circular blade wind turbine]
What is a Savonius semi-circular blade turbine?
The classic Savonius semi-circular blade turbine has a relatively low power coefficient.The performance of a Savonius wind turbine depends on its geometrical parameters. Various blade profiles have been developed in the past years to improve the performance of this class of turbine.
Can Savonius blades improve wind turbine efficiency?
Sanusi et al. (2016) proposed a new type of Savonius blades to increase wind turbine efficiency. These new blades were composed of elliptical and semi-circular profiles. They demonstrated that the combined blades improved the maximum power coefficient by 11% compared to the conventional case.
What are the new blade shapes of Savonius wind turbine?
In this paper, a new blade shapes of Savonius wind turbine is investigated numerically by using the CFD method , by using transient conditions and set k omega turbulence model.The new blade has different concave and convex shape, which is a combination of the conventional and the elliptical blade.
What is the size of a turbine blade?
The turbine has a height (H t) of 72 mm, and both ends are covered by end plates (D p) that are 1.1 times the blade diameter (D b). The thickness of the blades is maintained at 1 mm uniformly, and the blades are made of aluminum metal, providing a standard for subsequent configurations.
What is a semi-circular blade?
The semi-circular type blade, which is the basic geometry, can be classified under the Bach and elliptical types according to the blade curvature [24, 25]. The common design parameters (AR and OR) of each Savonius blade were determined by conducting CFD analysis of the semi-circular type.
