Blade pitching in vertical axis wind turbines: A double multiple stream tube theoretical approach to performance enhancement by Antim Gupta, Ussama Ali, Hamid Ait Abderrahmane, Isam Janajreh

“…A peak average coefficient of performance (Cp) of 0.568 was achieved at TSR = 5 using pitching Model 1 with a maximum angle of attack of 8.5°, compared to a Cp of 0.48 for the fixed blade configuration, near to Betz's limit (Cp = 0.593). The findings confirm that integrating variable blade pitching would substantially improve VAWT performance and offer a clear direction for revolutionary future wind turbine aerodynamic design enhancements.…”
