The novel pitch control strategy significantly improves aerodynamic performance in vertical axis wind turbines, particularly at low tip speed ratios.
A maximum absolute increase in the power coefficient of 0.2444 occurs at a tip speed ratio of 1.68, highlighting the effectiveness of the new approach.
Numerical simulations employing computational fluid dynamics reveal optimal pitch control factors and angles for enhanced efficiency in Darrieus H-type VAWTs.
The turbulence model used in this study is the k−ω shear stress transport, which aids in the detailed performance analysis of the turbine's aerodynamics.
