Experimental Evaluation of Innovated Mixed Flow Wind Turbine for Updraft Solar Power Generation Systems

Solar updraft power systems (SUPS) utilize solar energy to produce electrical energy. In a typical solar updraft power system, the air flow enters the collector radially and exit through the chimney axially. However, the existing wind turbine operates at such that the air enters and exits in the...
