Flow And Turbulence Characteristics Through A Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine Using Eddy Covariance Method

Turbin angin berjenis paksi menegak (VAWT) dipercayai berkesan dalam keadaan kelajuan angin rendah. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menilai ciri-ciri pergolakan dan aliran di depan dan belakang VAWT berdasarkan kelajuan aliran yang berbeza, untuk menentukan profil sisi dan menegak bagi di depan dan...
