Abstract:
Wind power generation is proportional to the third power of the wind speed. If we can increase the wind speed, specifically by capturing and concentrating the wind energy locally, the output power of a wind turbine can be increased substantially. To embody the scenario, a simple shroud structure which intentionally creates vortices behind it to draw more mass flow into the wind turbine was devised. The structure was named “Wind Lens”. The wind lens has a compact diffuser shroud with a broad-ring rim at the exit periphery. This system has demonstrated power augmentation for a given turbine diameter and wind speed by a factor of about 2-3 compared with a bare wind turbine.
