WindTamer Breaks Record Nearly Doubling Efficiencies in Wind Energy Turbines
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009
A recent report from Dr. K. D. Visser, Ph.D. from the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering of Clarkson University finds and predicts increased efficiencies in small, ducted wind turbines when compared with same size, open rotors.
The ducted or shrouded design is technically known as Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbine or DAWT as indicated in the report. According to tests and measurements claimed in its description, the DAWT WindTamer ™ design almost doubled the efficiency of the conventional open rotor Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) devices. The document indicates additional benefits found with the DAWT turbines tested in comparison with HAWT: quieter, safer and reduced tip speed ratio (TSR). TSR is the ratio of a blade tip speed over wind speed, an indicator of its efficiency. The lower TSR in this case results in less wear and fatigue according to the report.
