Performance study of ducted nozzle Savonius water turbine, comparison with conventional Savonius turbine

Energy, 2017
Abstract Savonius turbine presents an attractive, environmentally friendly and cost effective electric generation in low velocity regions. However, this turbine has not been fully explored, as researchers are still searching for solution for the main problem of low efficiency of Savonius turbine configuration.

Numerical and experimental study of a helical Savonius wind turbine and a comparison with a two-stage Savonius turbine

Renewable Energy, 2020
Abstract In this paper, the aerodynamic performance of a helical Savonius rotor model with 180° twisted blades is investigated numerically and experimentally. It is also performed a comparison of results with a two-stage Savonius with similar parameters. The experimental study is conducted in the aerodynamic tunnel Prof.

A review on the performance of Savonius wind turbines

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2012
Abstract This paper presents a review on the performance of Savonius wind turbines. This type of turbine is unusual and its application for obtaining useful energy from air stream is an alternative to the use of conventional wind turbines. Simple construction, high start up and full operation moment, wind acceptance from any direction, low noise and ...

Design evaluation reviews on the savonius, darrieus, and combined savonius-darrieus turbines

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 2023
The combination of Savonius and Darrieus turbines had been proposed with the aim to overcome the weaknesses and complement the strengths from each design. This paper gathers relevant information and provided an extensive review on the combined Savonius-Darrieus turbine for both wind and hydro applications.
