FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF UP-WIND AND DOWN-WIND COMBINED HYBRID HORIZONTAL AXIS WIND TURBINE (HAWT)

Abstract

Renewable energy is prime importance now a day because consumable fuels are reduces & their prices are increases. In case of wind energy upwind HAWT having success because of its high power generating capacity but having disadvantage of not utilizing wind energy available at the back side of the structure so in order to optimize power output from same HAWT structure this study is carried out. In which upwind & downwind turbines are attached in a single structure & power output is analyze by using different geometry of wind blade.
