Rotor Design for Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbines
Diffuser augmented wind turbines (DAWTs) can increase mass flow through the rotor substantially, but have often failed to fulfill expectations. We address high-performance diffusers, and investigate the design requirements for a DAWT rotor to efficiently convert the available energy to shaft energy. Several factors can induce wake stall scenarios causing significant energy loss. The causality b...
متن کاملMaster thesis : Tip leakage flow in high pressure turbines
In the framework of this master thesis, a numerical study has been carried out in order to investigate the effect of tip geometry on the tip leakage flow and heat transfer features in a unshrouded high pressure axial flow turbine stage designed by Erhard [10]. Four different tip profiles were considered, namely a default flat tip, a modified flat tip, a modified double squealer tip and a modifi...
متن کاملA Multi-Element Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbine
A new class of diffuser augmented wind turbines (DAWTs) is presented. The new diffuser concept exploits aero-dynamic principles for the creation of high-lift airfoil configurations known from the aircraft industry. Combining this with our objective of obtaining a compact power-efficient design has enabled creation of a family of DAWT designs with energy capture potentials which exceed the power...
متن کاملApplication of a Diffuser Structure to Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines
The effects of using a wind acceleration device (wind lens) with vertical-axis wind turbines in wind tunnel experiments were examined. A wind lens consists of a diffuser and flanges, and this study investigated the optimum parameters of their configuration with regard to the power augmentation of the turbines. The wind lens with a flat-panel-type diffuser demonstrated power augmentation by a fa...
