Abstract

The H-type Darrieus turbine is a vertical windturbine that is used to convert wind energy into mechanicalenergy by utilizing lift force. This research is aimed at making amodified H-type Darrieus turbine blade model from a NACA0018 profile blade to a NACA 0018 blade with a chordlineprojected radially to the turbine diameter and the second resultis to compare the performance of the NACA 0018-based radialprojection blade to the performance of the NACA 0018 blade.This is preparation for searching literature, design making,manufacture of NACA 0018 blade test specimens and NACA0018 based radial shadow blades, assembly and installation oftest equipment, testing and data collection of wind turbineperformance, data processing and analysis, final results. Thevariables tested were wind speeds of 7 m/s, 8 m/s, 9 m/s, 10 m/s,11 m/s, 12 m/s. The test results show that the higher the TSR, thehigher the resulting power coefficient (Cp) until the maximumCp is reached. After that, the increasing TSR, the resulting Cp isgetting smaller. The test results show that projection bladesbased on NACA 0018 and NACA 0018 blades produce a smallmaximum Cp, respectively 0.082 and 0.124 compared to theDarrieus turbine maximum Cp reference on the vertical turbinecharacteristic chart, which is 0.4. The NACA 0018-based radialprojection produces a lower Cp than the NACA 0018 blade atspeeds of 7 m/s, 8 m/s, 10 m/s, 11 m/s, 12 m/s. At a wind speed of9 m/s the projection blade based on NACA 0018 produces ahigher power coefficient than the NACA 0018 blade. Projectingthe NACA 0018 blade chordline on the track causes the bladecross-sectional area and chordline length to shrink. The higherthe wind speed, the smaller the resulting Cp. The solidwallphenomenon affects turbine performance. Testing without loadat all wind speeds, the projection blade based on NACA 0018produces higher rotation than the NACA 0018 blade. Theparameter of the blade momentum affects the results of theturbine rotation when tested without load.

Abstract

This experimental study investigates the performance of a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) with a flat taper 4:5 blade design and a 25° exit angle, focusing on the effect of varying the number of blades (6, 9, and 12). The turbine, with a diameter of 1.1 m and blade dimensions of 470 mm length, 110 mm top width, and 137 mm bottom width, was tested at wind speeds of 3 m/s, 5 m/s, 7 m/s, and 9 m/s in a laboratory setting. Parameters such as wind speed, turbine rotation, voltage, and current were measured to analyze system efficiency. The results indicate that blade count and wind speed significantly influence efficiency. The highest efficiency of 12.51% was achieved at 3 m/s with 9 blades, while at 5 m/s, the efficiency peaked at 3.95% with 9 blades. For higher wind speeds (7 m/s and 9 m/s), the optimal efficiency decreased to 2.03% and 0.95%, respectively, both achieved with 6 blades. The study concludes that this turbine design is most effective at low wind speeds (≤5 m/s), making it suitable for regions with similar wind conditions, such as Indonesia. The findings contribute to optimizing blade configurations for small-scale wind energy applications.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how changing the roundness of the back edge of blades affects a 4:5 flat taper wind turbine. Tests used blades with 5 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm rounded edges, compared to a 5 mm notched blade, across wind speeds from 3 to 9 m/s. The results show the 5 mm rounded edge works best at low wind speeds, with an efficiency of 11.12% at 3 m/s. At higher wind velocities, the 15 mm rounded blade demonstrated superior aerodynamic performance, attaining an efficiency of 1.63% at 7 m/s. The rounded trailing edge improved aerodynamic behavior by minimizing turbulence and enhancing flow stability. Therefore, the optimal edge radius should be determined based on regional wind characteristics, especially for low-speed wind zones typical of Indonesia
