Abstract

Savonius wind turbines have advantages of self-rotating at low speed wind, high starting torque, and less noise generation. However, they have low electric power generation capacity. This paper presents electric power generation improvement for small Savonius wind turbines when operating at low-speed wind of 1-6 m/s by using optimal Bach-type blades, twist blades and a wind tunnel. The turbine prototypes with the optimum diameter and height of 32 cm were developed with 3 different blade types: conventional semicircular blades, Bach-type blades and twisted 15° blades and a wind tunnel. The experimental results showed that the Savonius wind turbine with Bach-type generated highest electric voltage, which was 19.3% and 7.6% higher compared to conventional blades and twisted 15° blades. The additional wind tunnel could improve electric power generation efficiency by approximately 21.4% compared to the turbines without the tunnels.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of investigations of the impact of parabolic pulsed heating on output voltage levels of a thermoelectric generator. The experiment was set up and tested under different test conditions. The output voltage levels were investigated. The experimental results showed that applying parabolic pulsed heating of 40, 60, 80 and 100 °C significantly maintained the output voltage levels of thermoelectric generator at about 80-95% which was different from steady heating case which was about 10-30% of maximum voltage level.  Moreover, the parabolic pulse heating technique allows the heatsink to not be heated continuously and then the high temperature could be released out from a heat exchanger outside the heating period. This causes the next heating period to have a temperature difference between both sides of the device, and for that reason, could provide more power and efficiency.
