Goal and objectives of the project | Designing, manufacturing and operating a Vertical Axis Wind Generator (VAWG) as a source of electrical energy of 220VAC, 50 Hz, 2kW used in households and contributed in utilizing a wind energy across the country to improve the social life. This product contributes also in implementing the basic research oriented for applications in the field of energy storage and conversion of the Program of Physics Development until 2020. |
Main results | - Scientific contents: The project has addressed the following scientific contents to create an optimal design of the wind turbine. These scientific contents have been presented and asked for protection in the patent registration done on March 9, 2020, accepted on April 20, 2020, titled “Vertical Axis Wind Turbine with blades constructed according to the principle of mixed operation”: |
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results | The project has contributed in designing the new class of blades combining the features of Darrieus and Savonius types and the turbine consisting of 7 said blades. The project has designed and susessfully operated the VAWT suitable in working under low speed airflows of many territories of Vietnam. This new design allows: i) the turbine is easy to start under low-speed airflows of 2 – 3 m/s velocities; ii) the turibne can easily be accelerated in the rotation speed due to the positive influence of the lift force acted on the turbine; iii) the turbine is able to increase the energy hidden in the incomming wind due to the twisting effect of the blades, and iv) therefor the WAWT reaches the designed capacity of 2 kW with the 12 m/s incoming airflows with the turbine design suitable for small instalation spaces. The appearance of this compact turbine, together with the current compact and inexpensive commercial electronic parts, will ensure the low cost of a sufficient power source for the operation of household electrical appliances. |
