  2. 1. Vertical Axis Wind Turbines : Tower Dynamics and Noise

    Author : Erik Möllerström; Jonny Hylander; Fredric Ottermo; Göran Sidén; Hans Bernhoff; Mats Åbom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VAWT; H-rotor; eigenfrequency; semi-guy-wired tower; noise emission; sound power level;

    Abstract : Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have with time been outrivaled by the today common and economically feasible horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs). However, VAWTs have several advantages such as the possibility to put the drive train at ground level, lower noise emissions and better scaling behavior which still make them interesting for research.

  4. 2. Aerodynamics of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines : Development of Simulation Tools and Experiments

    Author : Eduard Dyachuk; Hans Bernhoff; Sandra Eriksson; Anders Goude; Mac Gaunaa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : wind power; vertical axis turbine; H-rotor; simulations; streamtube model; vortex model; dynamic stall; measurements; blade; force; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : This thesis combines measurements with the development of simulation tools for vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT). Numerical models of aerodynamic blade forces are developed and validated against experiments. The studies were made on VAWTs which were operated at open sites. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aerodynamic Studies of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines using the Actuator Line Model

    Author : Victor Mendoza; Anders Goude; Hans Bernhoff; Robert Flemming Mikkelsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : wind power; vertical axis wind turbines VAWTs ; actuator line model ALM ; dynamic stall model DSM ; atmospheric boundary layer ABL ; wake deflection; atmospheric boundary layer ABL ; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the unsteady aerodynamics involved in the operation of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). The main focus is to represent and understand the most relevant phenomena within the resulting flow pattern as the wake structure, loads on the different turbine components and the performance of the rotor.

  6. 4. Noise, eigenfrequencies and turbulence behavior of a 200 kW H-rotor vertical axis wind turbine

    Author : Erik Möllerström; Jonny Hylander; Fredric Ottermo; Hans Bernhoff; Göran Sidén; Mats Åbom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VAWT; H-rotor; eigenfrequency; semi-guy-wired tower; noise emission; sound power level; microphone array; turbulence intensity; power curve; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have with time been outrivaled by the today more common and economically feasible horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs). However, VAWTs have several advantages which still make them interesting, for example, the VAWTs can have the drive train at ground level and it has been argued that they have lower noise emission.
