Sail-type wind turbine for low-speed wind

Abstract

The article gives a brief overview of the most significant results obtained during the execution of the grant project (state registration number 0113RK01001). Within the framework of the project the investigators studied possibility of using low-speed wind energy in the city of Karaganda. They developed and created a variety of models of low power sail-type multiblade wind turbine to convert wind energy. The originality of the presented wind turbine is that blades with a dynamically variable surface shape are used. The analysis of results of aerodynamic testing of wind turbine models was performed at a laboratory-scale plant and in natural wind under different climatic conditions.
