AERODYNAMIC SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF A VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE
TRAVIS JUSTIN CARRIGANThis study is to introduce and demonstrate a fully automated process for optimizing the airfoil cross-section of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT).The objective is to maximize the torque while enforcing typical wind turbine design constraints such as tip speed ratio, solidity, and blade pro le. By xing the tip speed ratio and solidity of the wind turbine, there exists an airfoil cross-section for which the torque can be maximized, requiring the development of an iterative design system.
