Abstract
The article presents the results of the investigation on the performance of a small counter-rotating wind turbine. The wind turbine has been simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics methods. Actuator Line Model has been successfully used to represent rotors in the computational domain. A parametric study has been carried out, taking into account changes in the tip speed ratio of the rotors while maintaining a constant distance between upwind and downwind rotor. Study results revealed a noticeable increase in power coefficient for optimal configuration. Dynamic interaction between rotors has been investigated exposing no significant interference in both torque and power.
