INFLUENCE OF AERODYNAMIC INTERACTION ON PERFORMANCE OF HYBRID TURBINE

Abstract

In this report, the results of a wind test in order to investigate the influence of the interaction between the lift-type and the drag-type turbine blades on the performance of the vertical axis hybrid turbine is shown. As a result of power characteristics based on geometrical parameters such as the relative angle of the blade, the maximum values of the tip speed ratio and the power coefficient are improved according to the condition. In conclusion, we show the results of higher performance than the original lift-type turbine by considering the aerodynamic interaction and some geometrical parameters.
