A two-dimensional Darrieus-type hydroturbine system, installed with a wear for flow streams such as small rivers and waterways, has been developed for hydropower utilization of extra-low head less than 2m. There are several problems such as flow rate change and flowing wastes to be solved for its practical use in natural flow streams. In the present study, at first, a design guideline in the case of overflow or bypass flow is shown by using simple flow model. Next, in order to avoid the unexpected obstacles flowing into the hydroturbine, an installation of waste screening system is examined. It is confirmed that the screen is effective with some amount of bypass flow rate, however the output power is remarkably deteriorated.

In this study, numerical analyses that considered the dynamic interaction effects between the flow and a turbine were carried out to investigate the power output performance of an H-type Darrieus turbine rotor, which is one of the representative lifting-type vertical-axis tidal-current turbines. For this purpose, a commercial CFD code, Star-CCM+, was utilized for an example three-bladed turbine with a rotor diameter of 3.5 m, a solidity of 0.13, and the blade shape of an NACA0020 airfoil, and the optimal tip speed ratio (TSR) and corresponding maximum power coefficient were evaluated through exhaustive simulations with different sets of flow speed and external torque conditions. The optimal TSR and maximum power coefficient were found to be approximately 1.84 and 48%, respectively. The torque and angular velocity pulsations were also investigated, and it was found that the pulsation ratios for the torque and angular velocity were gradually increased and decreased with an increase in TSR, respectively.

Even though the differential drag type machines of the vertical wind turbines are a bit less efficient than the lift type machines such as Darrieus type machines, they have an advantage of low starting torque. The flapping blade type wind turbine is a specific type of the differential drag machines, and it has no need for orientation as well as quite low starting torque. This work is to develop an innovative 5kW class flapping type vertical wind turbine system which will be applicable to a hybrid power generation system driven by the diesel engine and the wind turbine. The parametric study was carried out to decide an optimum aerodynamic configuration of the wind turbine blade. In order to evaluate the designed blade, the subscale wind tunnel test and the performance test were carried out, and their test results were compared with the analysis results.

수직축 및 수평축 풍력터빈의 특성 및 공력성능예측 방법에 대해 고찰하였다. Darrieus형 수직축 풍력터빈은 블레이드에 유입되는 바람의 속도 및 받음각의 변화가 매우 심해 Dynamic Stall 현상이 발생하고 앞면에서 발생한 Wake가 후면 블레이드의 공력특성에 영향을 준다. 수평축은 BEMT를 활용하여 형상설계 및 성능예측이 가능하고 전산해석 및 풍동시험을 통해 공력성능예측이 수행되고 있다.

This paper describes the numerical analysis of effect of geometric variation on the straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine. Geometry variation is performed with pockets on the blades. The results presented in this numerical analysis show the general flow pattern of near the bladed, and azimuth angle variation on stating torque value.

3 차원 비정상유동해석을 통하여 자이로밀의 공기역학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 일반적으로 소형자이로밀은 구조가 간단하고 솔리디티가 높아 제작이 쉽고 자구동(self-starting)이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 TSR (tip speed ratio)가 4~7 인 다리우스풍력발전기와 다르게 1~3 정도로 매우 낮다. 본 연구에 사용한 자이로밀은 일정한 단면을 가진 3 개의 직선날개로 구성되어 있으며 솔리디티는 0.75 이다. 솔리디티가 매우 낮은 다리우스풍력발전기와 다르게 자이로밀은 TSR 이 증가함에 따라 날개 상호간의 간섭과 하류에 위치하는 날개로 유입되는 유동속도의 급격한 감소로 인하여 양력이 감소하고 날개의 회전속도에 의하여 주변의 공기가 가속되면서 항력의 증가로 성능이 저하되었다. 이로 인하여 TSR 이 2.4에서 최고의 성능을 나타내며 이후로 급격히 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

다리우스 풍력터빈의 속도설정을 터빈이 만드는 토크와 발전기가 요구하는 토크의 \평형을 통해 찾아 낼 수 있음을 검토하였다. 풍속에 따른 속도-토크곡선에서 일정충력곡선이 만나는 점이 터빈의 동작점으로 되며 이는 안정 및 불안정이 될 수도 있다. 풍속과 출력이 각각 변할 때 이 동작점이 어떻게 이동되는가 하는 점을 제시하였다. 또한 터빈의 속도에 관한 제어 블록선도를 제시하여 그 출력변화에 따른 속도변화의 전달함수를 알아내고 이의 형태는 1차 시지연 함수로 유도된다.

The paper presents a numerical approach to study of fluid flow characteristics and to predict performance of wind turbines. The numerical model is based on Finite-volume method (FVM) discretization of unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equations. The movement of turbine blades is modeled using moving mesh technique. The turbulence is modeled using commonly used turbulence models: Renormalization Group (RNG) k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model and the standard k-${\varepsilon}$ and k-${\omega}$ turbulence models. The model is validated with the experimental data over a large range of tip-speed to wind ratio (TSR) and blade pitch angles. In order to demonstrate the use of numerical method as a tool for designing wind turbines, two dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) simulations are carried out to study the flow through a small scale Darrieus type H-rotor Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). The flows predictions are used to determine the performance of the turbine. The turbine consists of 3-symmetrical NACA0022 blades. A number of simulations are performed for a range of approaching angles and wind speeds. This numerical study highlights the concerns with the self-starting capabilities of the present VAWT turbine. However results also indicate that self-starting capabilities of the turbine can be increased when the mounted angle of attack of the blades is increased. The 2-D simulations using the presented model can successfully be used at preliminary stage of turbine design to compare performance of the turbine for different design and operating parameters, whereas 3-D studies are preferred for the final design.
