Abstract

A study of dynamic stall is presented in order to define its influence on the airfoil force and moment coefficients so that these effects can be included in the calculation of small wind energy conversion system (SWECS) loads and responses. A review of past work indicates that semiempirical methods are best suited to SWECS requirements. A definition of a dynamic stall theory is made for use in SWECS design, and the theory is implemented in SWECS loads and dynamic response analyses. Sample calculations are made for a representative vertical-axis machine. It is shown that loads and moments on the blades may be underestimated if dynamic stall is not considered.
