Description
Summary:The importance of vertical axis wind turbine is developing due to their compactness and simple design among the researchers on renewable energy development. Some performance improvement techniques are famous in the field of Darrieus H – Rotar wind turbine. This paper is focusing to find out the efficiency of the wind turbine by adding flap and corresponding optimum position and angle of it. The numerical approach is used in this article using Computational Fluid Technologies (CFD) in the 2D domain. The k-ε SST 2 equation model is used for simulation purpose for obtaining its coefficient of momentum and performance. The validation of the result has been done using a grid-independent test by changing the element size. The performance parameters are obtained using simulation techniques and plotted in a standard manner to optimize them.
