Jumlah sudu yang baik untuk kecepatan angin rendah berkisar antara 3-7 buah sudu, namun desain sudu dengan menggunakan airfoil dan profil pada sudut pasang sudu yang bagaimana memberikan daya keluaran dan tegangan keluaran yang optimal. Turbin angin didesain dengan 2 bilah dan 4 bilah dengan sudut pasang yang bisa diatur untuk mendapatkan perbedaan daya optimal masing-masing desain. Pengujian dilakukan di 3 area berbeda untuk mendapatkan gambaran geografis kondisi angin yang berbeda khususnya masalah kecepatan angin di ksiaran 2 m/s - 7 m/s. Pengujian dilakukan dengan luas penampang turbin angin (A) sebesar 3m2 Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai terbaik diperoleh pada kecepatan angin maksimal 4 m/s dan jumlah blade 4  sedangkan untuk nilai terkecil diperoleh pada kecepatan angin 3 m/s dan jumlah blade 2 yaitu. Untuk nilai TSR maksimal pada kecepatan maksimal 4 m/s terjadi pada jumlah blade 4, sedangkan untuk nilai terendah pada kecepatan angin 3 m/s dihasilkan pada jumlah blade 2. Melalui pengukuran berbasis teknologi smart monitoring system, dari penelitian diperoleh semakin tinggi kecepatan angin maka tegangan keluaran semakin tinggi. Semakin tinggi tegangan keluaran, semakin tinggi daya keluaran pada generator. Sudut pasang ? dan jumlah sudu mempengaruhi kecepatan putaran rotor turbin angin. Kecepatan putaran rotor turbin angin berelasi dengan tegangan keluaran generator. pada sudut pasang ? dan jumlah sudu 4, diperoleh daya keluaran yang sebesar 150 watt namun pada kecepatan angin 7 m/s daya turbin yang dihasilkan mencapai 600 watt. Dengan kondisi ini cukup memenuhi untuk alternatif cadangan listrik skala rumah tangga khusunya di pedesaan dan daerah terpencil (rural area). The linear taper blade shape is the most optimal blade shape for low wind speeds. The number of blades that are good for low wind speeds ranges from 3-7 blades, but the blade design uses an airfoil and profile on the blade mounting angle which is how to provide optimal output power and output voltage. Wind turbines are designed with 2 blades and 4 blades with adjustable tide angles to get the difference in the optimal power of each design. Tests were carried out in 3 different areas to obtain a geographical description of different wind conditions, especially the problem of wind speed in the range of 2 m / s - 7 m / s. Tests carried out with a cross section area of  wind turbines (A) of 3m2 The results showed that the best value was obtained at a maximum wind speed of 4 m / s and number 4 blade while the smallest value was obtained at wind speeds of 3 m / s and number 2 blades namely. For the maximum TSR value at a maximum speed of 4 m / s occurs in the number of 4 blades, while for the lowest value at 3 m / s wind speed is produced on the number of blades 2. From the research, the higher the wind speed, the higher the output voltage. The higher the output voltage, the higher the output power at the generator. The ? tide angle and number of blades affect the speed of the wind turbine rotor rotation. The rotational speed of the wind turbine rotor is related to the generator output voltage. at the tide angle ? and number of blades 4, the output power of 150 watts is obtained but with wind speed 7 m/s turbine power 600 watt achieved. With this condition, it is sufficient for alternative household electricity reserves, especially in rural and remote areas (rural areas).

Low Wind Speeds

In this paper, the authors analyze a design for a wind tower intended for areas of low wind speeds. The wind tower consists of a combination of several rooftop size turbines arranged alongside a cylindrical structure that acts as a Wind Deflecting Structure (WDS). The WDS amplifies the effective wind speed thus allowing the turbine rotors to operate under lower ambient wind speeds. Analyses were performed using simple models as well as more sophisticated CFD methods employing Steady and Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes methodology. The effect of the wind amplification was shown on a commercial small wind turbine power output map. Also, a wind turbine rotor flow was computed as operating alongside the WDS and compared to the computed operation of isolated turbines at equal effective and ambient wind velocities. The computational analyses of this work suggest that the power output of isolated rooftop wind turbines deployed at low to moderate wind speed may be matched by installing wind turbines alongside a cylindrical wind deflecting structure operating at lower wind speeds. Other benefits of the arrangement are also enumerated.

Wind Turbine Rotor

A small horizontal axis wind turbine rotor was designed and tested with aerodynamically efficient, economical and easy to manufacture blades. Basic blade aerodynamic analysis was conducted using commercially available software. The blade span was constrained such that the complete wind turbine can be rooftop mountable with the envisioned wind turbine height of around 8 m. The blade was designed without any taper or twist to comply with the low cost and ease of manufacturing requirements. The aerodynamic analysis suggested laminar flow airfoils to be the most efficient airfoils for such use. Using NACA 63-418 airfoil, a rectangular blade geometry was selected with chord length of 0.27[m] and span of 1.52[m]. Glass reinforced plastic was used as the blade material for low cost and favorable strength to weight ratio with a skin thickness of 1[mm]. Because of the resultant velocity changes with respect to the blade span, while the blade is rotating, an optimal installed angle of attack was to be determined. The installed angle of attack was required to produce the highest possible rotation under usual wind speeds while start at relatively low speed. Tests were conducted at multiple wind speeds with blades mounted on free rotating shaft. The turbine was tested for three different installed angles and rotational speeds were recorded. The result showed increase in rotational speed with the increase in blade angle away from the free-stream velocity direction while the start-up speeds were found to be within close range of each other. At the optimal angle was found to be 22° from the plane of rotation. The results seem very promising for a low cost small wind turbine with no twist and taper in the blade. The tests established that non-twisted wind turbine blades, when used for rooftop small wind turbines, can generate useable electrical power for domestic consumption. It also established that, for small wind turbines, non-twisted, non-tapered blades provide an economical yet productive alternative to the existing complex wind turbine blades.

This study introduces strategic methods for improving the aerodynamic performance of wind turbines. It was completed by combining different optimization methods for each part of the wind turbine rotor. The chord length and pitch angle are optimized by a torque-matched method (TMASO), whereas the airfoil shape is optimized by the genetic algorithm (GA). The TMASO is implemented to produce an improved design of a reference turbine (NREL UAE Phase V). The GA is operated to generate a novel airfoil design that is evaluated by automatic interfacing for the highest gliding ratio (GR). The adopted method produces an optimized wind turbine with an 11% increase of power coefficient (Cp) with 30% less of the corresponding tip speed ratio (TSR). Furthermore, the optimized wind turbine shows reduced tip loss effect.

Low Wind Speeds

Savonius wind turbines are wind turbines that canoperate at low wind speeds, this type of turbine is very suitable tobe used in several places in Indonesia. The research aims toimprove the performance of the Savonius wind turbine withvariations in the number of turbine blades as well as variations inthe velocity of wind speed. The research method wasexperimental where wind turbine testing was carried out withvariations in the number of turbine blades with number of 2, 3and 4 blades, other variations carried out were wind speed at 3.5;4,5; 5.5 and 6.5 m/s. The study results show that the 2-bladeturbine produces greater rotation, but the torque moment islower than the 3 and 4 blade turbines, this can be seen in the lowefficiency of the 2 blade turbine at low wind speeds with highloading. At 3.5 m / s wind turbines 2 blade turbines haveefficiency that tends to be the same as 3 and 4 blade turbines upto 0.5 N but at loads of 0.6 - 1.2 N 2 blade turbines have lowerefficiency, while at wind speeds of 4.5 - 6.5 m / s 2 blade turbineshave greater efficiency than turbines 3 and 4 blades up to a loadof 1.2 N but if the load is added then the efficiency of 2-bladeturbines can be smaller than efficiency 3 and 4-blade.

Optimization of the autonomous wind-diesel plants composition and of their power for guaranteed energy supply, despite the long history of research, the diversity of approaches and methods, is an urgent problem. In this paper, a detailed analysis of the wind energy characteristics is proposed to shape an autonomous power system for a guaranteed power supply with predominance wind energy. The analysis was carried out on the basis of wind speed measurements in the south of the European part of Russia during 8 months at different heights with a discreteness of 10 minutes. As a result, we have obtained a sequence of average daily wind speeds and the sequences constructed by arbitrary variations in the distribution of average daily wind speeds in this interval. These sequences have been used to calculate energy balances in systems (wind turbines + diesel generator + consumer with constant and limited daily energy demand) and (wind turbines + diesel generator + consumer with constant and limited daily energy demand + energy storage). In order to maximize the use of wind energy, the wind turbine integrally for the period in question is assumed to produce the required amount of energy. For the generality of consideration, we have introduced the relative values of the required energy, relative energy produced by the wind turbine and the diesel generator and relative storage capacity by normalizing them to the swept area of the wind wheel. The paper shows the effect of the average wind speed over the period on the energy characteristics of the system (wind turbine + diesel generator + consumer). It was found that the wind turbine energy produced, wind turbine energy used by the consumer, fuel consumption, and fuel economy depend (close to cubic dependence) upon the specified average wind speed. It was found that, for the same system with a limited amount of required energy and high average wind speed over the period, the wind turbines with lower generator power and smaller wind wheel radius use wind energy more efficiently than the wind turbines with higher generator power and larger wind wheel radius at less average wind speed. For the system (wind turbine + diesel generator + energy storage + consumer) with increasing average speed for a given amount of energy required, which in general is covered by the energy production of wind turbines for the period, the maximum size capacity of the storage device decreases. With decreasing the energy storage capacity, the influence of the random nature of the change in wind speed decreases, and at some values of the relative capacity, it can be neglected.

Low Wind Speeds

The potential of wind energy is very abundant but its utilization is still low. The effort to utilize wind energy is to utilize wind energy into electrical energy using wind turbines. Savonius wind turbines have a very simple shape and construction, are inexpensive, and can be used at low wind speeds. This research aims to determine the effect of the slot angle on the slotted blades configuration on the performance produced by Savonius wind turbines. Slot angle variations used are 5o ,10o , and 15o with slotted blades 30% at wind speeds of 2,23 m/s to 4,7 m/s using wind tunnel. The result showed that a small slot angle variation of 5o produced better wind turbine performance compared to a standard blade at low wind speeds and a low tip speed ratio.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

This paper presents a numerical and experimental analysis of the patent of a device to be used in vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) under extreme wind conditions. The device consists of two hemispheres interconnected by a set of conveniently implemented variable section ducts through which the wind circulates to the blades. Furthermore, the design of the cross-section of the ducts allows the control of the wind speed inside the device. These ducts are intended to work as diffusers or nozzles, depending on the needs of the installation site. Simulations were performed for the case of high-speed external wind, for which the ducts act as diffusers to reduce wind speed and maintain a well-functioning internal turbine. Four different patent designs were analyzed, focusing on turbine performance and generated power. The results indicate that the patent allows the generation of electric power for a greater range of wind speeds than with a normal wind turbine. The results support that this patent may be a good alternative for wind power generation in geographic areas with extreme weather conditions or with maintained or strong gusty wind. Experimental tests were carried out on the movement of the blades using the available model. Finally, the power curve of the model of this wind turbine was obtained.

Abstract. Wake steering is a wind farm control strategy in which upstream wind turbines are misaligned with the wind to redirect their wakes away from downstream turbines, thereby increasing the net wind plant power production and reducing fatigue loads generated by wake turbulence. In this paper, we present results from a wake-steering experiment at a commercial wind plant involving two wind turbines spaced 3.7 rotor diameters apart. During the 3-month experiment period, we estimate that wake steering reduced wake losses by 5.6 % for the wind direction sector investigated. After applying a long-term correction based on the site wind rose, the reduction in wake losses increases to 9.3 %. As a function of wind speed, we find large energy improvements near cut-in wind speed, where wake steering can prevent the downstream wind turbine from shutting down. Yet for wind speeds between 6–8 m/s, we observe little change in performance with wake steering. However, wake steering was found to improve energy production significantly for below-rated wind speeds from 8–12 m/s. By measuring the relationship between yaw misalignment and power production using a nacelle lidar, we attribute much of the improvement in wake-steering performance at higher wind speeds to a significant reduction in the power loss of the upstream turbine as wind speed increases. Additionally, we find higher wind direction variability at lower wind speeds, which contributes to poor performance in the 6–8 m/s wind speed bin because of slow yaw controller dynamics. Further, we compare the measured performance of wake steering to predictions using the FLORIS (FLOw Redirection and Induction in Steady State) wind farm control tool coupled with a wind direction variability model. Although the achieved yaw offsets at the upstream wind turbine fall short of the intended yaw offsets, we find that they are predicted well by the wind direction variability model. When incorporating the expected yaw offsets, estimates of the energy improvement from wake steering using FLORIS closely match the experimental results.
