Popis: The article presents results of the investigation on the performance of a small counter-rotating wind turbine. Wind turbine has been simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics methods. Actuator Line Model has been successfully used to represent rotors in computational domain. Parametric study has been carried out, taking into account changes in the tip speed ratio of the rotors while maintaining a constant distance between upwind and downwind rotor. Study results revealed noticeable increase in power coefficient for optimal configuration. Dynamic interaction between rotors has been investigated exposing no significant interference in both torque and power.
