Abstract
The objective of this study is to show the effect of guide vane solidity on the performance of straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine. The experimental study was carried out by a wind tunnel. The wind tunnel with a diameter of 1.8 m is open jet type. The rotor has three straight blades with a profile of NACA4518, a chord length of 100 mm, a diameter of 600 mm and a blade height of 700 mm. The guide vane consists of some arc plates. The wind velocity is constant at 8 m/s. Copyright © 2009 by The International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE).
