AbstractGiven the increasing trend of using wind energy in cities, the utilization of distributed wind energy in cities has been widely concerned by researchers. The related research on the micro-site selection of wind turbines, a sub-project of the Task27 project of the International energy agency, was continued in this paper. The wind speed data of an observation station near Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, with a range of 10–19 m were collected. The evaluation included wind direction, Weibull parameter characteristics, and turbulence intensity. The potential energy output in 10 different heights was estimated using commercial horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines of the same power. Results showed that the following: the three-parameter Weibull distribution model can well describe the statistical properties of the wind speed in this site. The wind speed distribution model constructed from extrapolation parameters reflects the wind speed statistical properties out of detection positions to a certain extent. The wind energy density of the vertical axis wind turbine is slightly lower than that of the horizontal axis wind turbine. Furthermore, more power can be generated from March to May.

The consumption of electricity in urban as well as rural is increasing every day and became an essential commodity for household and industrial purposes. Unfortunately the availability of electrical energy in India is not sufficient to the required demand and it is essential to discover and generate energy from non-conventional sources with cheap cost. On the same time it is necessary to reduce the consumption of conventional sources and to save fuel. Among all the renewable resources, wind is one of the best resources available all the time at free of cost. Especially vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) are self-starting, omni directional. They require no yaw mechanism to continuously orient towards the wind direction and provide a more reliable energy conversion technology, as compared to horizontal axis wind turbine. Particularly savonius vertical axis wind turbines (SVAWT) are suitable and practically possible at low or uncertain wind speed regimes. They can be fitted on rooftops and also suitable for the urban areas where electricity is not available properly. This project deals with the fabrication and performance evaluation of savonius vertical axis wind turbine using two blade rotor. The amount of power developed by the wind turbine is calculated under theoretical and practical conditions and aerodynamics coefficients are also estimated. And various design parameters of savonious rotor are identified and determined.

This paper presented a new dynamic optimal design method of wind turbine blade which combined the Wilson model with the BEM aerodynamic model. Considering the wind energy utilization coefficient as the target function, the Wilson theory was used to optimize a 1.5MW blades aerodynamic shape. The revised distribution of chord and twist angle was nearly of linear change in the main output power section of blade. The optimized wind energy utilization coefficient can reach 0.552, which is very closed to the Betz limitation. In the part of the calculation of aerodynamic performance, considering both the effect of solidity and eddy current loss on the aerodynamic performance calculation, and also considering the sensitivity of the initial value in a nonlinear equation, it utilized the blade element momentum theory (BEM) which was a classical method on the aerodynamic performance of blade to calculate the aerodynamic performance.The results shows the optimized power output can be up to 1.3426MW, and compared with the rated power, the efficiency reached 89%.

The output power of a wind turbine is the most critical variable reflecting the operating status of the turbine. To improve the interpretability of the prediction model, a segmented output power method based on wind energy utilization coefficient is established. First, the wind energy conversion system of the wind turbine is given, and the SCADA data of a wind turbine is visually analyzed. Then it is proposed to separate the data into three groups according to different operating regions of wind turbines: the Maximum Power Point Tracking region, the rotator speed control region, and the power control region. In the Maximum Power Point Tracking region, wind energy utilization coefficient is found by a fitted cubic polynomial of the tip speed ratio. In the rotator speed control region, a modeling method for determining wind energy utilization coefficient through dynamic labels is designed. In the power control region, the output power is kept at the rated value. Finally, the 3 models are connected so that time-series data can be handled. The SCADA data of a 2.1MW wind turbine is used to verify the above models. The performance of these models is given in the form of Root Mean Square Error, indicating that the output power predicted by this method has good accuracy.The segmented output power model based on wind energy utilization coefficient can simulate the operation process of wind turbines, and has good accuracy and interpretability.

Wind energy is one form of renewable energy in Indonesia and its potential is very large to be utilized. Wind energy can be converted into electrical energy using wind turbines. Horizontal axis wind turbine will be the subject of this study, where the wind turbine model will be given additional diffuser. In addition, this wind turbine model will also be developed from a single rotor wind turbine into a double rotor wind turbine with opposite rotation direction or counter rotation. This research uses numerical simulation method using ANSYS Fluent software to know wind turbine performance. Simulations were performed at wind speeds of 3 m/s, with the ratio of the length and diameter of the inlet diffuser 0.5; 1; 1.5; 2; and 2.5. Based on the simulation results, it can be seen that the greater the ratio of inlet length and diameter, the mechanical power generated by the wind turbine rotor is greater. Double rotor wind turbine with a length ratio and 2.5 inlet diameter produces the highest performance on the front rotor and rotor rear. The greater the ratio of the length and diameter of the inlet, the mechanical power generated by the front rotor and the rotor inside the diffuser also increases.

Background: The wind turbine is divided into a horizontal axis and a vertical axis depending on the relative positions of the rotating shaft and the ground. The advantage of the choke wind turbine is that the starting torque is large and the starting performance is good. The disadvantage is that the rotation resistance is large, the rotation speed is low, the asymmetric flow occurs when the wind wheel rotates, the lateral thrust is generated, and the wind energy utilization rate is lowered. How to improve the wind energy utilization rate of the resistance wind turbine is an important issue to be solved by the wind power technology. Objective: The nautilus isometric spiral wind turbines studied in this paper have been introduced and analyzed in detail, preparing for the further flow analysis and layout of wind turbines, improving the wind energy utilization rate of wind turbines, introducing patents of other structures and output characteristics of its generator set.
