Abstract

The object of the study is a wind turbine with a vertical axis of rotation. The main problem of operating wind farms with a horizontal axis of rotation includes: the need for constant guidance to the wind, cantilever tension at the attachment point of the blades, uneven rotation of the wind wheel. A vortex wind device with a vertical axis of rotation eliminates wind guidance mechanisms, cantilever tension of the blades, ensures uniform rotation of the wind wheel. The wind device has a concentrator with curved channels that concentrate the flow onto the blades of the wind wheel and create a vortex motion, which is enhanced by the thrust of the vertical pipe. A feature of the development is the steady vortex motion created inside the concentrator, which ensures uniform and stable rotational movement of the wind wheel in unstable wind flow. Based on mathematical modeling and experimental studies, an experimental model and a semi-industrial installation were developed.
