Abstract

Large Scale Wind Turbines (LSWTs) have been extensively examined for decades but very few studies have been conducted on the small-scale wind turbines (SSWTs) especially for the applications where artificial wind speed is of order of few meters per second. Energy can be harvested with the help of helical savonius turbine where air is exhausted to atmosphere at high velocity. Such wind turbine is more efficient and economical compare to conventional which are based upon natural wind energy.
