Darrieus type wind turbine, controlled blades, torque, power coefficient, tip speed ratioAbstract
"The results of studies on possibility of increasing efficiency in the use of wind energy and improving the dynamic characteristics of Darrieus wind turbine with straight blades are described. It is shown how the values of torque on the rotor shaft may be optimized by controlling the orientation of the turbine blades relative to the oncoming flow. Control of blades was provided with a cylindrical track of the special form in plan. The track form allowed to establish optimum angle of attack on each site of blade circular trajectory. It allowed to increase power coefficient Cp by 1.5 times and to reduce wind speed at which there is self-start of the wind turbine. "
