dc.description.abstractThis paper presents the results of a performance analysis conducted on an experimental airborne vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT), specifically focusing on the MAGENN Air Rotor System (MARS) project. During its development phase, the company claimed that MARS could generate a power output of 100 kW under wind velocities of 12 m/s. However, no further information or numerical models supporting this claim were found in the literature. Extending our prior conference work, the main objective of our study is to assess the accuracy of the stated rated power output and to develop a comprehensive numerical model to analyze the airflow dynamics around this unique airborne rotor configuration. The innovative design of the solid model, resembling yacht sails, was developed using images in the related web pages and literature, announcing the power coefficient (Cp) as 0.21. In this study, results cover 12 m/s wind and flat terrain wind velocities (3, 5, 6, and 9 m/s) with varying rotational velocities. Through meticulous calculations for the atypical blade design, optimal rotational velocities and an expected Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) of around 1.0 were determined. Introducing the Centroid Speed Ratio (CSR), which is the ratio of the sail blade centroid and the superficial wind velocities for varied wind speeds, the findings indicate an average power generation potential of 90 kW at 1.4 rad/s for 12 m/s and approximately 16 kW at a 300 m altitude for a 6 m/s wind velocity.en_US
