Abstract

This work is intended to develop a flapping-type vertical wind turbine system that will be applicable to diesel generators and wind turbine generator hybrid systems. In the aerodynamic design of the wind turbine blade, parametric studies were performed to determine an optimum aerodynamic configuration. After the aerodynamic design, the structural design of the blade was performed. The major structural components of the flapping-type wind turbine are the flapping blade, the connecting part, and the stopper. The primary focus of this work is the design and analysis of the connecting part. Structural tests were performed to evaluate the blade design, and the test results were compared with the results of the analysis.
