Traditional Savonius turbines, characterized by their simplicity and effectiveness in low-wind conditions, typically face challenges related to limited efficiency and power output. This project investigates a multi-staged design of Savonius blades to enhance the turbine’s aerodynamic performance and energy generation capacity. By optimizing blade configuration across multiple levels or stages, the design aims to capture a greater proportion of wind energy at various altitudes, improving overall efficiency and stability. Such advancements could make vertical turbines more viable for urban environments, where variable wind conditions are common, and space constraints favor compact solutions like VAWTs. The results from this research could inform new standards for small-scale wind installations, contributing to renewable energy adoption in both urban and off-grid contexts, ultimately reducing reliance on non-renewable sources.
