In order to raise the utilization rate of wind energy in the existing vertical axis wind turbines
the theoretical optimum angles of attack 8° and -8° in upwind area and downwind areas
respectively
of wind rotor are determined for obtaining the maximum tangential force of the wind wheel
and the pitch angle adjustment strategy of blade is worked out. Based on this
the random direction method is applied to optimize the pitch mechanism and the parameter combinations of pitch mechanism at different tip speed ratios are obtained. To validate the pitch mechanism of vertical axis wind turbine
taking tip speed ratio 2 as an example
the kinematics simulation on the model is conducted by ADAMS software
and the rotation angle measuring method is used to fit the curve of blade pitch angle. The calculation results show that the actual pitch angle curve agrees well with the ideal pitch angle curve
which proves that the designed pitch mechanism of vertical axis wind turbine is feasible. Through wind tunnel tests
it was proved that the variable pitch vertical axis wind turbine has better self-starting performance and the power generation efficiency is increased by at least 7.86% than that of the existing vertical axis wind turbine with fixed pitch.
