Abstract
⺠Experiments on a wind tunnel scale VAWT were conducted in unsteady wind conditions. ⺠Varying tip speed ratios and amplitudes were tested and the results presented. ⺠The unsteady power coefficient of the VAWT does not trace the steady CP curves. ⺠Small amplitudes have no effect on cycle CP while large amplitudes are detrimental. ⺠Mean λ below peak performance show hysteresis in CP curve while high λ do not.
