4 FAQs about Small horizontal wind turbine

Can 2 kW small horizontal axis wind turbine be used for low wind speed?

The main aim of this work is to design and perform analysis of 2 kW small horizontal axis wind turbine to be used for low wind speed applications. In the present work, aerodynamic analysis of 10 airfoils was carried out at Reynolds number of 81,712 using Q Blade software. The blades were designed for the selected airfoils based on BEMT.

What is a small horizontal axis wind turbine?

Small turbines are typically used for residential, agricultural, and small commercial or industrial applications. Small horizontal-axis wind turbines, contrary to large wind turbines, are not well developed or well accepted because of the low efficiency and high costs.

What is a small wind turbine?

The aim of utilizing small wind turbines is to supply buildings with electrical power, which might or might not be connected to the utility grid. The World Wind Energy Association has reported that the global installed wind power has increased 52.552 GW, making the total power generated 539.291 GW.

What is the power coefficient of a horizontal axis wind turbine?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. This work aims at designing and optimizing the performance of a small Horizontal-Axis-Wind-Turbine to obtain a power coefficient (C P) higher than 40% at a low wind speed of 5 m/s. Two symmetric in shape airfoils were used to get the final optimized airfoil.
