Overview

Experimental analysis shows improved aerodynamic performance in micro wind turbine blades using DBD plasma actuators, indicating potential for innovative design.

Key Points

  • Notable enhancement in aerodynamic performance seen with DBD plasma actuators, significantly improving lift force.
  • Estimated electrohydrodynamic force reached 8.712×10−4 N, enhancing flow attachment and circulation on the airfoil.
  • Schlieren imaging revealed changes in air density and flow patterns due to the high-voltage plasma discharge.
  • DBD actuators offer a lightweight and efficient alternative for wind turbines with decreased energy consumption.
