Implication

This analysis demonstrates improved aerodynamic performance in vertical axis wind turbines, suggesting morphing technology could boost energy capture efficiency.

Key Points

The proposed dual-airfoil mechanism improves power efficiency by adapting to varying wind speeds, which enhances overall performance.
Among tested airfoils, the NACA 64(2)-415 achieves the best power coefficient at low speeds, while FX 84-W-127 excels at high wind speeds.
Aerodynamic analysis applies the Double Multiple Stream Tube model simulated through QBlade software, validating against benchmark data.
This innovative morphing strategy inspired by biomimicry shows promise for enhancing the viability of renewable wind energy technologies.
