Hamid Reza Karimi – University of Agder
Jerzy Małachowski – Military University of Technology
Krzysztof Sobczak – Lodz University of Technology
Topic #1 Introduction
Introduction was made by project leader – Jerzy Małachowski.
Topic #2 Application for next advance payment
Krzysztof Damaziak presented the progress of work on the proposal for a second advance. Major problems
were pointed out. Suggestions for their solution were provided and discussed..
Topic #3 Results of 2D CFD simulations of “small” prototype
Krzysztof Sobczak presented results of CFD study that led to determination of parameters of the first,
"small", SWT prototype to be used in wind tunnel tests.
Topic #4 Results of preliminary CFD simulations of SWT
Krzysztof Sobczak presented results of CFD study of full-scale SWT. Followed Maciej Karczewski showed
approximate SWT costs analysis of two different aero layouts, which were previously chosen to be “the
final two”.
Topic #5 Overview of the small wind turbines
Maciej Karczewski presented progress of preparation to wind tunnel tests and geometry of “small” SWT
model.
Topic #5 Overview of the small wind turbines
Hamid Karimi presented review of literature on conversion system and first, preliminary, simulations of
control system.
Topic #7 Future steps
The following part of the meeting was devoted to the future steps on SWT models preparation, including
time schedule and tasks division.
Meeting adjourned at 16:05.
