In this paper, a 1 kW straight-bladed vertical-axis Darrieus wind turbine is designed using the cascade theory. The effects of dynamic stall and flow curvature, in addition to solidity, design power coefficient, design tip speed ratio, design wind speed, cut-out speed, and blade supporting type (...
