Effect of Ambient Reynolds Number on Small Wind Turbine Subjected to Low Wind Speed Conditions

Wind flow over the airfoil surface is adversely affected by differences between design and ambient values of a dimensionless quantity called Reynolds number. turbine designed for high Number shows lower maximum power performance when installed in low-speed wind regime. Tanzanian experience that some imported modern turbines depict compared to drag-type locally manufactured turbines. The most probable reason difference local numbers. parameters have their properties restricted range numbers which was for. When certain made operate number out range, it behaves differently from embodied specifications. small higher will suffer low lift forces with probably occasional stalls.
