In order to increase the power output of the straight-bladed Darrieus wind turbine, our research group developed a variable-pitch with a four-bar linkage mechanism that consists of a main link, second link, blade link, and eccentric link. In this study, we investigated the effects of controlling the eccentric-link length through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The CFD results showed that the variable-pitch condition with the variable eccentric-link length during wind turbine rotation had higher torque on both the upstream advancing side and the downstream retreating side of the rotor than did the variable-pitch condition with the constant eccentric-link length. As a result, the variable-pitch condition with the variable eccentric-link length during wind turbine rotation had a higher power coefficient than did the variable-pitch condition with the constant eccentric-link length.
