Orthogonal Experiment Optimum Design in the Power of the Rotor on Straight-Bladed VAWT

摘要

The orthogonal experiment optimum design methodology has been applied in the rotor of the straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). The maximum power of the rotor is selected as the performance target.The fix radius of the rotor, the number of the blade, the blade chord and the blade height are selected as the four main factors in orthogonal experiment.With the range analysis and the variance analysis of the result, obtained an optimal solution for the rotor parameters of the Straight-Bladed VAWT.
