Abstract
This paper introduces the design and experiment of a double-layer vertical axis wind turbine. This system is mainly oriented to the polar environment as a supplement for mobile robot energy. Firstly, the aerodynamic performance of the wind turbine structural parameters is numerically simulated using CFD software combined with the Uniform Design Experimentation method, the system uses NACA4412 blades to form a double-layer wind turbine. Secondly, ANSYS software is used for modelling and verifying the structure of the main components of the wind turbine. A permanent magnet direct-drive synchronous generator is applied to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, and charges the battery through a circuit. Finally, the prototype is developed and tested. The maximum conversion efficiency of wind energy can reach 24.66% at the wind speed of 7 m/s.
