Abstract
The use of metropolitan wind power by small-scale wind turbines has become an emerging technique to reduce the battle among growing energy needs. However, the available technical designs are not yet adequate to develop a reliable and distributed wind energy converter for low wind speed conditions. The Savonius wind turbine rotor, or simply Savonius rotor, seems to be particularly promising for such conditions, however, it suffers from low power coefficient. The blade profile/shape is an important aspect of designing the Savonius rotor. In this context, the use of optimization techniques (OTs) along with soft-computing techniques (SCTs) can significantly help to arrive at the intended design parameters. The selection of rotor blades developed through OTs and SCTs can significantly improve the rotor performance. This review study aims to summarize the OTs and SCTs used till date in the blade design of Savonius rotors.
期刊介绍：
Having been in continuous publication since 1977, Wind Engineering is the oldest and most authoritative English language journal devoted entirely to the technology of wind energy. Under the direction of a distinguished editor and editorial board, Wind Engineering appears bimonthly with fully refereed contributions from active figures in the field, book notices, and summaries of the more interesting papers from other sources. Papers are published in Wind Engineering on: the aerodynamics of rotors and blades; machine subsystems and components; design; test programmes; power generation and transmission; measuring and recording techniques; installations and applications; and economic, environmental and legal aspects.
