Desirable airfoil features for smaller-capacity straight-bladed VAWT

In the small scale wind turbine market, the simple straight-bladed Darriues types vertical axis wind turbine (SB-VAWT) is very attractive for its simple blade design. A detailed aerodynamic performance analysis of the main aerodynamic challenges of this type of wind turbine were first discussed and...
