Abstract

A new small-scale type diffuser augmented wind turbine (DAWT) is designed based on blade element momentum theory and the aerodynamic model of DAWT is established. This work presents an innovative approach to rotor blade design of small-scale diffuser augmented wind turbines. At the same radius and wind speed working conditions the new type DAWT has lower cut-in wind speed and the largest wind energy utilization coefficient of it is increased more than 1 times. Annual power generation of the new wind turbines is increased 2.34 times.
