Summary
The distribution of weight by component in three existing vertical axis wind turbines is briefly tabulated. An approach is given for studying Darrieus machine element weights, accounting for the several possible operating regimes and the maximum forces generated in these regimes which produce loads imposed on the blades and the reactions on the interfacing elements. The approach taken is to develop a means for analysis of the dominating load creating member, the blades, and a means for analysis of aerodynamic performance under a typical distribution of wind velocity. Then the blade structural loading is determined for appropriate designs for the conditions of use including the blades at rest in maximum winds. Computational results of the investigation are graphed. (LEW)
