A new class of diffuser augmented wind turbines (DAWTs) is presented. The new diffuser concept exploits aero … potentials which exceed the power efficiency based on the diffuser exit area by 50%. The paper presents the 1D momentum theory …-Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs). Inviscid axisymmetric panel code calculations are then used to drive the diffuser design towards …
