Abstract

Crossflow wind turbines are known because of the advantages of producing maximum torque in a low tip speed ratio also as a self-starting wind turbine. Therefore, it is an ideal wind turbine type for application as a power generator in rural areas that have low wind speed between 2-5 m/s. The design parameter of cross-flow wind turbines is required in order to improve turbine performance. This work investigates the influence of blades number and blades angle on the performance of cross-flow wind turbines. Furthermore, to investigate the effect of blades number and blades angle on crossflow wind turbine performance. Crossflow wind turbines designed using 18 and 20 blades on 45˚, 60˚, and 75˚ blades angle on 0.68 aspect ratio diameter. Based on the results obtained, cross-flow wind turbines with 18 number of blades and 45˚ blades angle showed the best result.
