Darrieus Wind Turbine Performance Prediction: Computational Modeling

The Vertical Axis Wind Turbines Darrieus is facing a rapid installations growth due to the interest for a decentralizing generation. The Darrieus aerodynamic behavior analysis is a hard computational task. This paper starts by offering an insight into the Darrieus wind turbines performance prediction and proposes an algorithm based on the Multiple Streamtube modeling as a prediction approach in order to have an admissible handing in an Internet of things environment.
