In this study, flow characteristic of small vertical-axis wind turbine was performed to analysis the numerical analysis. Blade geometry in the wind turbine is NACA 6512-43, and various degrees of the wind turbine accelerator were adopted. Numerical models are used for the analysis with CFD program of Ansys fluent and RNG k-e turbulence model was used. Rotational speed value of the wind turbine in analysis condition were obtained by the experiment. When the wind turbine accelerator is equipped, exit velocity of wind turbine accelerator tended to increases. Also RPM of wind turbine is increase. And maximum RPM appeared that wind turbine accelerator in degree 60° is equipped.

The lay outs in this thesis is based on basic theories and the test the performance of the product by wind tunnel test and vehicle test. Furthermore, in order to find out the effect of structure change on hub which is one of the components of wind turbine, I compared the actual performance between the existing model and the modified model thoroughly. To improve the performance of wind turbine, I modify the structure of the hub and analysing base model and modify model by using Star-CCM+. As a result, I found out the wing-shaped hub used model stablizes the spin in shorter time than existing model. Therefore, with the optimal blade selection, the structure modification on hub is a considerable variable on wind turbine design which is aiming better performance.

본 연구는 해상용 부이(bouy)의 전원공급용 풍력 발전기 개발하였으며, 이는 특허 기술 및 SVAWT 모델 개발의 다양한 경험을 바탕으로 실시되었다. 구조 및 진동 안전성의 확인을 위한 방법으로 자체 개발한 디자인 프로그램과 첨단 공학 기술, 전산 유체 역학, 유한 요소법 및 전산 구조 역학이 사용되었다. 특별 로딩 및 해양 부이의 동적 움직임을 유도해서 파도에 의한 진동 조건으로도 간주되었다. 이 디자인은 특별 설계되었고, 특허 에어포일 형상은 테스트를 거쳐 바다 부이의 제한된 설치 공간에 따라 최대 출력을 얻는데 적용되었다. 여러 SVAWT 모델이 구축 되었으며 실제로 부이에 장착되어 바다에서 테스트 중이다.
