Abstract

Experiments were carried out with a two-tier Savonius rotor with optimal proportions of geometry parameters. The testing was performed in a tow basin with almost zero effect of flow boundaries. The positive net power is generated for the specific speed varying from zero to one, and the maximum of the wind energy utilization coefficient is 20 %.
