Abstract The Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbine (DAWT) is one of the advanced concepts being investigated to improve the economics of wind energy conversion. The project is aimed at increasing the output and reducing the cost, the off-duty time, and the technical risk of wind energy conversion systems (WECS). The DAWT appears to be best suited to large WECS for commercial power production because it permits a significant increase in the unit power output without extending the size of rotating machinery into the range where rotor dynamics cause excessive costs.
