A case study is conducted for the design of a wind turbine adapted to the Adrar site which is located in the Algerian Sahara. The results obtained showed that the wind turbine has maximum efficiency just at the design speed. For speeds higher than the design speed, the efficiency is reduced by the stall effect with decreases in torque due to the fall of the lift force. At wind speeds lower than the design value, the thrust effect increases, which puts the rotor under high mechanical stress and blade rotation decreases with low efficiency.}, url = {DOI: 10.3103/S0003701X18060063.}, author = {Mohammed Debbache,~ Semcheddine Derfouf, Abderrahmane Hamidat \& Belhi Guerira,} } @article {25443, title = {\“Flow control for the vertical axis wind turbine by means of flapping flexible foils \»}, journal = {The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering .}, volume = {39}, year = {2017}, pages = {457-470}, abstract = {An active flow control mechanism is proposed to improve the efficiency of the energy extraction for the vertical axis wind turbine.

The viscous non-stationary flow around the turbine is simulated using the ANSYS-FLUENT 15 software. The complex flapping motion is reproduced using a dynamic mesh technique and a user-defined function. The results show that, with this strategy of control, the turbine generates a higher moment coefficient due to the increase in the peaks of lift force caused by a better difference in the pressure between the two sides of the blade due to the flexure motion.
