Parking Strategies for Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
Figure 2
Thrust force and torque for the parked turbine at storm (wind speed 70 m/s). The solidity is constant in this comparison and the blade pitch is zero. The Reynolds number is for three blades and correspondingly scaled according to the chord length for the other cases. The plots are based straightforwardly on measured data for the NACA0018 profile [11].
