In this paper, based on the lift-type wind turbine, an adaptive double-drive lift–drag composite vertical-axis wind turbine is designed to improve the wind energy utilization rate. A drag blade was employed to rapidly accelerate the wind turbine, and the width of the blade was adaptively adjusted with the speed of the wind turbine to realize lift–drag conversion. The aerodynamic performance analysis using Fluent showed that the best performance is achieved with a blade curvature of 30° and a drag-type blade width ratio of 2/3. Physical experiments proved that a lift–drag composite vertical-axis wind turbine driven by dual blades can start when the incoming wind speed is 1.6 m/s, which is 23.8% lower than the existing lift-type wind turbine’s starting wind speed of 2.1 m/s. At the same time, when the wind speed reaches 8.8 m/s, the guide rail adaptive drag-type blades all contract and transform into lift-type wind turbine blades. The results show that the comprehensive wind energy utilization rate of the adaptive dual-drive lift–drag composite vertical-axis wind turbine was 5.98% higher than that of ordinary lift-type wind turbines and can be applied to wind power generation in high-wind-speed wind farms.

“…Ma et al utilized the Taguchi method to optimize the airfoil, pitch angle, enwinding ratio, solidity ratio, and small shaft position of the H-type turbine, and it was found that the optimization process improved the performance by around 17% [23]. Other researchers used the Taguchi method and a neural network model depending on CFD data to optimize the mean of tip speed ratios for vertical wind turbines while using a deflector.…”

One of the renewable energy technologies for producing electricity from moving water is the Savonius turbine. This paper optimizes the Savonius turbine performance by conducting several CFD simulations and utilizing the mixed-level Taguchi method. The quality function was first created, and then the levels and factors were determined. After analyzing the mesh and the boundary conditions, the orthogonal array was built and the CFD simulation was executed for each run. The diameter is the parameter that has the greatest influence on the hydrodynamic performance, according to the Taguchi analysis, which demonstrated the optimal combinations of the parameters in low-speed streams. The main finding was that the modified water turbine’s power of coefficient (Cp) had a 15% improvement over the original design.
