Evaluation of Regional Elevation and Blade Density Effects on the Efficiency of a 1-kW Wind Turbine for Operation in Low-Wind Counties in Iran
This research investigates the effect of blade density and elevation above sea level on the startup time (Ts) and power coefficient (Cp) of a 1-kW two-bladed wind turbine.The study uses three Iranian hardwoods as the blade material and four counties of Iran with low wind speeds and different elevations as the EYE FACTORS FORMULA case studies.The BW
