為了因應都市型的風場狀況，本研究通過校準的開放式低速風洞對新型交叉軸風力發電機（CAWT）進行量測，其性能結合水平和垂直軸風力發電機（HAWT和VAWT）的優勢所組成。首先，為了確保風洞的流場品質，根據IEC61400-12的規範，在風洞測試段進行流場不均勻度，紊流強度及壓力梯度的校準。此外，在各種雷諾數下，CAWT在有和沒有人工紊流發生器的情況下進行穩定/不穩定風況下靜態和動態性能的測試檢查，並且考慮了風洞內的堵塞效應。結果表明，靜態和動態性能均隨著加裝人工紊流發生器而提高。另外，根據風力發電機的功率性能表現進行CAWT投資回收期的經濟評估計算。

For the purpose of meeting the wind field in the urban area, the performance of a newly invented cross-axis wind turbine (CAWT), which consists of the advantages of horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines (HAWTs and VAWTs), was examined in a calibrated open-circuit low speed wind tunnel in this study. Firstly, to ensure the quality of the wind tunnel, the calibration in accordance with the flow non-uniformity, turbulent intensity and pressure gradient along the test section was conducted within the wind tunnel, based on the IEC61400-12 standard. Furthermore, the CAWT were tested with and without the artificial turbulence generator, for examining the static and dynamic performances within a steady/unsteady wind conditions at various Reynolds numbers, and the blockage inside the wind tunnel was additionally taken into account. The results show that both the static and dynamic performances were improved with the addition of turbulence generator. Moreover, based on the power performance of wind turbine, the payback period of the CAWT was calculated according to the economic evaluation of the wind turbine.
