Abstract

The Savonius wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine that is simply composed of two or three arc-type blades which can generate power even under poor wind conditions. The effect of straight guide vanes, on the power production of a two-bladed Savonius wind turbine is investigated using transient computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The aim of this paper to evaluate the effectof guide vane on the performance of Savonius wind turbine. The results concluded that, the power that generated by the Savonius wind turbine increases significantly compared with Savonius wind turbine without guide vane. The maximum improvement attained to 74.7% at wind speed of 8.5 m/s.
