Renewable energy technologies play an important role in contribution of global energy demand as well as conservation of the environment. Researchers have realized that wind turbines combined with a diffuser increase efficiency and start generating electricity with a lower wind speed. It is also expected that increasing efficiency of wind turbine results in reduction of energy generation cost. In this respects, designing wind turbine running with high efficiency with a lower wind speed needs further research and development. In this study, performance indicators of variety geometrically structured horizontal and vertical axis wind turbine technologies which their output power augmented through utilization of diffusers were investigated in detail.

Yayıcı ile Güçlendirilmiş Rüzgar Türbini Teknolojilerinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Küresel enerji ihtiyacının temin edilmesi ve çevrenin korunumu üzerine katkının sağlanmasında, yenilenebilir enerji teknolojileri önemli rol oynamaktadır. Araştırmacılar, yayıcı ile birleştirilmiş rüzgar türbinlerinin verimliliği artırdığını ve daha düşük rüzgar hızlarında elektrik üretimine başladıklarını fark etmişlerdir. İlaveten, rüzgar türbinine ait verimin artırılması, enerji üretim maliyetinin düşmesine sebep olmaktadır. Bu bakımdan, yüksek verimde ve daha düşük rüzgar hızında çalışan rüzgar türbinlerinin tasarımı ilave araştırma ve geliştirmeye ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Bu çalışmada, yayıcı ile güçlendirilmiş yatay ve dikey eksenli türbin teknolojilerinin farklı geometrilerdeki performans göstergeleri detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiştir.
