Design analysis of a smaller-capacity straight-bladed VAWT with an asymmetric airfoil

One of the main challenges of widespread applications of the smaller-capacity straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (SB-VAWT) is to design it in a cost-effective manner. The overall cost of the SB-VAWT primarily depends on the proper selection of an appropriate blade shape or airfoil to achieve...
