An experimental investigation on the performance of a vertical axis wind turbine in steady wind.

An experimental study was carried out into the performance of a wind tunnel scale vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) under steady wind conditions. Wind speed tested was 7m/s, giving a Reynolds number of around 75,000. The power coefficient (CP) of the VAWT over a wide range of reveals a negative trou...
