TI  - Solidity Optimization for an H-Darrieus Wind Turbine
AB  - Solidity is one of the main factors that influence the performance of a wind turbine. The solidity of an H-Darrieus wind turbine is optimized in terms of blade number, chord length, and rotor radius to get the maximum power coefficient using Taguchi L16 (4^3) array. Power coefficient values are calculated by the Double Multiple Stream Tube model by in house built MATLAB code according to Taguchi orthogonal array. The maximum power coefficient is found as 0.4728 for the two-bladed rotor with a chord length of 0.2 m and a radius of 2 m. Relation of maximum power coefficient respect to blade number, chord length, and rotor radius is derived. Predicted mean values of the maximum power coefficient are in agreement with calculated values. Furthermore, an equation for the maximum power coefficient is obtained for rotor solidity. Derived equations can be useful to estimate the maximum power coefficient values of H-Darrieus wind turbines.
