A Study on the Mathematical Modelling of Cuban-8 Type Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine

Cuban-8형 수평축 풍력터빈의 수학적 모델링에 관한 연구

This paper discusses about the mathematical modelling of a new conceptual shape of horizontal axis wind turbine. The geometrical characteristic of wind turbine is studied for the variation of azimuthal angles and elevation angles. The projecting trajectories of Cuban-8 blade due to rotation are analyzed on the each plane in the Cartesian coordinate system. Trajectories show several interesting graphical patterns since the geometrical shape is complicated with the rotational motion of two twisted circumferential blades with elevation angles.
