Abstract
The performance characteristics of wind turbines should be thoroughly investigated prior to expending large amounts of capital on a prototype design. A low power dynamometer is described for measuring the power and torque output from a two-bladed model wind turbine, and performance characteristics relating coefficient of performance to tip speed ratio and blade geometric pitch are presented for three designs of blade.
