A dynamic stallcorrected Blade ElementMomentum algorithm based on a hybrid polar is validated through the comparison with Sandia experimental measurements on a 5m diameter wind turbine of Troposkien shape. Different dynamic stall models are evaluated. The numerical predictions obtained using the extended aerodynamic coefficients provided by both Sheldal and Klimas and Raciti Castelli et al. are compared to experimental data, determining the potential of the hybrid database for the numerical prediction of verticalaxis wind turbine performances.
