Conceptual Design Of Wind Accelerating Device For Small VAWT

A conceptual design of wind accelerating device was developed for small VAWT wind turbine with the objective of improving incoming wind speed before reaching and subsequently hitting the turbine blades. Low wind speed particularly in Malaysia need to overcome in order to improve the wind turbine eff...
