Description

High performance wind turbine has been developed using plasma actuation technology. First, the plasma activated concept was ensured with 300W rated small wind turbine in a wind tunnel experiment. Second, the world first field test with this innovative concept was conducted using 30kW rated wind turbine. The test showed that leading edge flow separations are very controlled by the plasma actuation and torque augmentation in wind turbine is realized even under real wind conditions. Finally, the first trial of this technique for larger commercial size rotors of 1.75 MW rated was carried out and increasing wind power has been proved.
