Improving the efficiency of a closed-type wind turbine through an integrated approach

This paper presents an integrated approach to improve the efficiency of a closed-type wind turbine. The influence of the confuser’s angle of attack on the wind speed in the turbine blades located area has been studied. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the installation was created using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The contours of speeds and pressures were studied at different wind speeds, as well as under different confuser parameters. Based on the results of the study, a recommendation for the optimal angle of attack of the confuser was made for constructing a closed-type wind turbine, and MXene-based nanomaterials were considered for use in icing prevention systems.
