- Description
- Environmental conditions such as high turbulence, low wind speed, and persistent changes in oncoming wind direction can minimize the performance of a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT). Some specific vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) designs can work fine in these rare functioning conditions but still, they pose an occasional power coefficient. So a unique design of a helical cross-axis wind turbine (HCAWT) was modeled which will operate under multiple wind directions such as horizontal wind stream and vertical wind stream from the underside of the turbine. The HCAWT consists of three helical vertical blades and six horizontal blades arranged in cross-axis orientation for enhancing its performance and self-starting behavior. The obtained analysis study results show that the power generated by the HCWAT was improved when compared to the Straight-Bladed VAWT. Both the turbines were placed at height of 100, 150, 200 & 250?mm in the simulation study, coefficient of power (Cp) achieved by HCAWT was 0.43, 0.52, 0.48, and 0.51 at an RPM of 554, 512, 474 and 449 respectively whereas in the case of Straight-Bladed VAWT was 0.15, 0.18, 0.13 and 0.23 at an RPM of 179, 189, 212 and 233 were obtained. 2022 Author(s).
