Selection of airfoils for straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbines based on desirable aerodynamic characteristics

Selection of the airfoil is crucial for better aerodynamic performance and dimensions of a smaller-capacity SB-VAWT which can compete with conventional energy sources in niche markets like urban areas and off-grid remote applications for diversified applications. Airfoil related design changes also...
