The Innovative Design and Simulation Analysis of Small Savonius Wind Turbine

Abstract:

Savonius rotor is a typical style of vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT). A new innovative design of two Savonius rotors coaxially in the opposite direction is presented in the paper which is different from the traditional design. The traditional generator has only a pair of stator and rotor and matched with trational Savonius rotor. Enlarging the relative speed between the magnetic pole and the coil pole by making the two pole rotate in the opposite direction in the innovative Savonius wind turbine. In this way, it can enhance the power generation efficiency of the Savonius wind turbine. The fluid-solid coupling analysis for the Savonius wind turbine is used to calculate the power characteristics and efficiency of the wind turbine.
