Response of a savonius rotor to unsteady flow

open access: yes, 1974
A Savonius rotor used as a speed measuring device was subjected to a unidirectional unsteady flow having a mean value U0. A comparison between the rotor rotation rate in this unsteady flow and its rotation rate in a steady flow U0 yielded systematic ...

Performance analysis of an idealized Darrieus–Savonius combined vertical axis wind turbine

open access: yesWind Energy
To investigate the effect of force distributions of each turbine component on the power performance of the Darrieus–Savonius combined vertical axis wind turbine (hybrid VAWT), the hybrid VAWT is modeled as idealized turbine under various force ...

Performance Tests of a Benesh Wind Turbine Rotor and a Savonius Rotor

open access: yes, 1994
A study was conducted to compare the performance of a Benesh rotor to that of a Savonius rotor as a wind power generating device. Tests were conducted for each rotor in two different setups in 1992 and 1993, respectively.

Effect of curved geometrical aspects of Savonius rotor on turbine performance using factorial design analysis

open access: yesCurved and Layered Structures
Electricity consumption is expected to increase significantly by 2050. It is essential to ensure that as the increase occurs, there is also a corresponding increase in the proportion of renewable energy sources in the electricity supply.
