Development and Research of a Wind Turbine with Two Multidirectional Wind Wheels

The object of the study is a wind generator with counter-rotating blades. A special feature of this design is the presence of two wind wheels rotating in opposite directions. The problem of modern wind power generation, is the low range of operating wind speeds, weak generation at low wind speeds. The wind turbine presented in the paper achieves a 50-70% increase in electrical power generation. The design of the device includes: two wind wheels, one fixed to the stator, the other to the rotor axis, a metal base, and a current-carrying mechanism. An experimental model and a semi-industrial plant were used in this research. Experimental studies confirmed the theoretical increase in electrical power generation by this design. In practice, a wind turbine generator with counter-rotating blades is used to improve the efficiency of electrical power generation at low wind speeds.
