Savonius wind turbine is an interesting type of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) which has a low cost of manufacturing, however, this turbine has a relatively low power output compared to the other types of VAWTs. Further study is required to enhance its performance to match the high demand of the power generation in small-scale applications. The main objective of the current study is to enhance the power output coefficient (Cp) of the conventional Savonius rotor by adding two-inner blades to the geometry. The performance assessment was performed for five different angles of inner blades (100°, 120°, 140°, 160°, and 180°). Moreover, the effect of spacing between inner blades was numerically examined for three values of spacing i.e. 0.02, 0.01, and 0.005 m. The current two-dimensional simulation was performed utilizing the Ansys Fluent solver. The simulation results affirmed that the maximum enhancement to be 32.9% compared to the conventional rotor at TSR equal to 0.7 when the spacing between inner blades is 0.005 m with an inner blades angle of 100°. Moreover, results demonstrated that the Ct max is 0.435 at TSR = 0.4 for the rotor with 160° inner blades and a spacing of 0.005 m.
