DESIGN AND EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF 2-STAGE SAVONIUS TURBINE
Keywords:
Hydro Turbine, 2 Stages Savonius, Deflector Plate, EccentricityAbstract
Hydro energy is important as clean energy resource. Savonius rotor is a vertical axis rotor with simple
in design and easy to fabricate at lower cost. The rotation of the rotor is due to the drag diff erence between the
advancing blade and returning blade. Net driving force can be increased by reducing the reverse force on the
returning blade or increasing the positive force on the advancing blade. Former can be realized by providing a
flow obstacle to the returning blade and latter can be realized by concentrating the flow towards the advancing
blade. Various Design of 2 stage savonius hydro turbine in which comparison and investigation on performance
and make comparison between different design of savonious turbine.
