Abstract
A theoretical formulation of the operation of wind pumps is proposed, including the starting and stopping behaviour. The paper defines a wind pump form of Froude number as the basic dimensionless parameter of the system. The influence of the turbine's power levels at low tip-speed ratios on the system performance is studied. The study is based on theoretical analysis and confirmed by experimental findings on the behaviour of constant-torque machines.
