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.
lar to the original idea, which is a vertical axis wind turbine with less than 1 kW of rated power. From this database we can extract that from the 558 models of wind turbines listed, the 20% was of vertical axis type (VAWT from now on) and the other part was of horizontal axis type (HAWT).
