Abstract

In the present work, the aerodynamic performance prediction of a unique 30kW counter-rotating (C/R) wind turbine system, which consists of the main rotor and the auxiliary rotor, has been investigated by using the quasi-steady strip theory. The near wake behavior of the auxiliary rotor that is located upwind of the main rotor is taken into consideration in the performance analysis of the turbine system by using the wind tunnel test data obtained for scaled model rotors. The relative size and the optimum placement of the two rotors are investigated through use of the momentum theory combined with the experimental wake model. In addition, the performance prediction results along with the full-scale field test data obtained for C/R wind turbine system are compared with those of the conventional single rotor system and demonstrated the effectiveness of the current C/R turbine system.
