Effect of blade inclination angle for straight-bladed vertical-axis wind turbines by L. Morgan, A. K. Amiri, W. Leithead, J. Carroll

“…This indicates the potential of V-rotors to reduce the cost of energy compared to H-rotors in traditional VAWT designs. Additionally, inclined blades are shown to increase the operational tip-speed ratio, demonstrating their applicability to turbines using secondary rotors, such as the X-rotor, where high tip-speed ratios are required for efficient power conversion between primary and secondary rotors.…”
