Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Power Estimation
Hello,
Can some explain to me how to calculate the power coefficient of a vertical axis wind turbine. If you explain the steps invloved would be great or any external file location where I could refer. I have below information 1) Lift Coefficient. 2) Drag Coefficient. 3) Angle of attack. 4) Rotational Speed. 5) Airfoil Dimensions. Furthermore, I know how to calculate the tangential force coefficient (Ct) as well. I have tried to calculate the power coefficient, but it gives me a value over 1.0 which is impossible. Looking forward to hearing |
