SMALL-SCALE VERTICAL axis wind TURBINE DESIGN Javier Castillo Bachelor s Thesis December 2011 Degree program in Aeronautical Engineering Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences ABSTRACT Tampereen ammatikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Aplied Sciences Degree Programme in Aeronautical Engineering CASTILLO, JAVIER: SMALL-SCALE VERTICAL axis wind TURBINE DESIGN Bachelor s thesis 54 pages, appendixes 15 pages December 2011 The thesis focuses on the DESIGN of a small VERTICAL axis wind TURBINE rotor with solid wood as a construction material. The aerodynamic analysis is performed implementing a momentum based model on a mathematical computer pro-gram. A three bladed wind TURBINE is proposed as candidate for further prototype test-ing after evaluating the effect of several parameters in TURBINE efficiency, torque and acceleration.
The IEC 61400 Wind turbine generator systems standards are the reference used for the certification of wind turbines. The IEC61400-2 focuses in design requirements for small wind turbines but they are not applicable to vertical-axis wind turbines (Wood, 2011). Technical standards should be considered in the design in order to ensure safe-
