HYBRID HORIZONTAL AXIS SMALL WIND TURBINE: EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
View through CrossRef
The hybrid turbine for VAWTs has been widely investigated by researchers
around in the world. Whereas hybrid turbines for HAWTs especially the
venturi turbine and propeller turbine have never been examined. This
study aims to obtain the characteristics of hybrid horizontal axis
turbine that combine propeller turbine and venturi turbine on a single
shaft have been proposed as a way of combining the excellent starting
torque, low cut in, while propeller turbine with the high operational
efficiency, poor with turbulent flows. The study was conducted
experimentally. There are two parameters of the turbine to be tested,
the first being the effect of the diameter of the wind turbine propeller
on the venturi diameter of the wind turbine. The second is the pitch
angle of propeller turbine. The results of tests conducted, obtained an
increase in power from hybrid wind turbine compared to wind turbine
propeller.
