This report presents the results of a design and analysis of a Darrieus/Savonius hybrid vertical-axis wind turbine. The system described is a utility interfaced 3-m turbine/1-kW generator designed to be cost effective in 5.4 m/s (12 mph) average wind sites. Included are the review of design efforts in the areas of aerodynamics and structural analysis; and preliminary design details of the 3-m/1-kW Darrieus/Savonius turbine (DST).
