Abstract

This research explores the potential for reducing reliance on fossil fuels through the combined utilisation of photovoltaic energy and local Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs). In urban settings, VAWTs offer advantages such as lower noise emissions, independence from wind direction, operational efficiency at both low and high wind speeds, and enhanced stability due to their unique helical blade design. These characteristics make VAWTs a suitable and effective option for generating sustainable energy in urban environments. A Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) will be virtually introduced to 2050 Homes Development in Nottingham, a cluster of 27 houses configured to use a micro–Low Temperature District Heating (LTDH) network.

This paper investigates the possibility to move 2050 Homes scheme into zero energy level by using Quite Revolution (QR6) helical blade VAWT along with photovoltaic energy generation. The preliminary results show that two QR6 VAWT can bring the 27 terrace homes from the 2050 Homes scheme into zero energy class performance.

评估风能和太阳能在实现住宅零能耗等级方面的潜力：诺丁汉案例研究

这项研究探讨了通过结合利用光伏能源和本地垂直轴风力涡轮机（VAWTs）来减少对化石燃料依赖的潜力。在城市环境中，垂直轴风力涡轮机具有噪音低、不受风向影响、在低风速和高风速下均可高效运行以及因其独特的螺旋叶片设计而增强稳定性等优势。这些特点使 VAWT 成为在城市环境中生产可持续能源的合适而有效的选择。垂直轴风力涡轮机（VAWT）将被实际引入诺丁汉的 "2050家园开发项目"，该项目由27栋房屋组成，配置了微型低温区域供热（LTDH）网络。本文研究了通过使用Quite Revolution（QR6）螺旋叶片垂直轴风力涡轮机和光伏发电，将 "2050家园 "计划提升到零能耗水平的可能性。初步结果表明，两台 QR6 VAWT 可使 2050 家庭计划中的 27 个露台住宅达到零能耗水平。
