Fish Farm Electrification Utilising a Hybrid Device of Low-Speed Vertical Axis Turbine and Solar Panels

The present paper deals with the selection of airfoil profile for VAWTs which is to be installed in the college campus, located in Central India region. Both experimental and numerical analysis he been carried out for the three selected airfoils, NACA 0012, NACA 0015 & S2027. The results show a good correlation with the existing literature. Airfoil profile S2027 has been chosen which best suits our condition.

Vertical Axis Turbine

AbstractVertical axis turbines (VATs) excel over horizontal axis turbines in their independent flow direction. VATs that operate in an enclosure, e.g., a diffuser shroud, are reported to generate more power than unducted VATs. A diffuser-shrouded, high solidity of 36.67%, three-blade VAT with NACA 633-018 airfoil section is modeled in 2-D using the commercial software ANSYS-FLUENT®. Incompressible, unsteady, segregated, implicit, and second order in time and space solver is implemented in association with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulent model with a reasonable computational cost. The computational results are assessed against experimental data for unducted VAT at low tip speed ratios between 1 and 2 for further numerical analysis on diffuser models. Different diffuser designs are investigated using suitable nozzle size, area ratio, length-to-diameter ratio and angles between the diffuser inner surfaces. The numerical model shows that, for a specific diffuser design, the ducted VAT performance coefficient can be augmented by almost 90% over its unducted counterpart.
