The energy attributes of Sail Wind Power Systems (SWPSs) remain inadequately comprehended, which obstructs their advancement and optimization. This research explored the energy characteristics of SWPSs through a Computational Fluid Dynamics model. The model underwent validation using experimental data from a small-scale SWPS. Subsequently, it was employed to analyze the impact of different design parameters on the energy characteristics of SWPSs. The findings of this research indicate that the energy characteristics of SWPSs are significantly influenced by their design parameters. The key design factors include the sail area, the shape of the sail, and the height of the mast. This research proposes a pioneering methodology for the conversion of wind energy, involving the utilisation of a dynamically controlled air-inflated swinging sail. This innovation has been proven to significantly enhance efficiency during periods of low wind conditions. In contradistinction to conventional wind turbines, this proposed system employs a novel parallel manipulator mechanism for power extraction. The research indicated that SWPSs can produce electricity more cost-effectively than conventional wind turbines and the findings offer significant insights into the energy attributes of SWPSs, which can be utilized to enhance their design and optimization. Additionally, the study suggests that SWPSs represent a promising technology for harnessing wind energy for electricity generation.
