WIND TURBINE PERFORMANCES

(Explanations on some special exceptions)

Please note that, cyclogiro-turbine performance curve slightly exceeds the theoretical maximum for wind-axis turbines because the cyclogiro turbine decelerates a larger portion of the wind than does a wind-axis turbine of the same projected area of rotor disk.

The third important cross-wind-axis turbine, the cyclogiro wind turbine (Fig. 6), is similiar to the Darrieus rotor but with two important differences. First, the airfoils are straight, and second, the orientation (pitch) of the blades is continuously changed during rotation to maximize wind force. The peak power coeeficients predicted for those turbines are greater than for any turbine (Fig. 2) Notice that the cyclogiro-turbine performance curve slightly exceeds the theoretical maximum for wind-axis turbines because the cyclogiro turbine decelerates a larger portion of the wind than does a wind-axis turbine of the same projected area of rotor disk.
