Experimental study of the effects of turbine solidity, blade profile, pitch angle, surface roughness, and aspect ratio on the H‐Darrieus wind turbine self‐starting and overall performance

Abstract New and comprehensive time‐accurate, experimental data from an H‐Darrieus wind turbine are presented to further develop our understanding of the performance of these turbines with a particular focus on self‐starting. The impact of turbine solidity, blade profile, surface roughness, pitch an...
