Title:

Test Engineer

Agreement Number:

1024394

Agreement Value:

$30,000.00

Agreement Date:

Nov 1, 2024 - Oct 31, 2025

Description:

Wind Enairgy Inc. is developing a Dual-Axis Cascaded Airfoil Wind Turbine (DACAWT) prototype, based on its US patent (10,683,841 B2). Extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses, including independent CFD simulations by Rand Simulation and Navier-Flow Consultants, indicate a DACAWT exhibits excellent aerodynamic performance in low wind speed and gusting wind conditions. The project will redesign, build and wind tunnel test a robust DACAWT prototype to validate the proof of concept and generate accurate data with respect to its optimum blade speed ratio (BSR) and maximum power coefficient. The prototype's test data will be used for designing and building a larger DACAWT for testing in the field and to attract private investment.
