The vertical-axis wind turbine with omni-direction guide vanes advances renewable energy technologies. This novel turbine uses wind energy from any direction, improving efficiency and versatility. Omni-directional guide vanes optimize blade alignment independent of wind direction, improving turbine efficiency in different weather situations. Due to their vertical axis layout, these turbines are smaller and may be deployed in many places, including urban locations with limited space.
Based on the reference paper entitled “The design, simulation and testing of an urban vertical axis wind turbine with the omni-direction-guide-vane”, we are simulating a vertical axis wind turbine installing guide vanes around. For a better understanding of our apparatus, the schematic is illustrated below:
Simulation Process
The geometry seems a bit complicated, so we chose Spaceclaim to create the model. The domain is split into separate areas, so it gets easier to perform mesh later. 1170216 elements spread over the domain, focusing on the rotating part, which is the rotor.
The wind direction, or simply say, angle of attack, continuously changes during the rotation when it comes to vertical axis wind turbines. This is why Sliding Mesh (Mesh Motion) needs to be employed. Thus, the parameters are dependent on time, leading to a transient (unsteady) study. The rotor is rotating with 50rpm rotational velocity.
Post-processing
Simulations of the vertical axis wind turbine with omni-direction guide vanes show encouraging results. The turbine outperformed standard designs in efficiency and wind direction adaptability. Integrating guide vanes changed the game, ensuring ideal blade alignment in all wind conditions. This feature maximized energy absorption. The results show that this unique technology can revolutionize renewable energy generation by producing dependable and efficient electricity. The best perception of the mechanism can be achieved through watching animations.
We pride ourselves on presenting unique products at CFDLAND. We stand out for our scientific rigor and validity. Our products are not based on guesswork or theoretical assumptions like many others. Instead, most of our products are validated using experimental or numerical data from valued scientific journals. Even if direct validation isn’t possible, we build our models and assumptions on the latest research, typically using reference articles to approximate reality.
Yes, we’ll be here . If you have trouble loading files, having technical problems, or have any questions about how to use our products, our technical support team is here to help.
You can load geometry and mesh files, as well as case and data files, using any version of ANSYS Fluent.
