The Savonius wind turbine is considered as one of the solutions for harvesting the kinetic
energy from the wind in the urban areas, due to magnificent features such as, low
construction cost, high starting torque, and self-starting ability especially at low wind speed.
However, the conventional rotor suffers from low efficiency. Thus, modifying the
configuration of the rotor may be an effective solution for providing electricity to the
communities with no access to the power grid. Thus, this investigation aims to study …
