This paper summarizes and introduces all vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) projects where
100 kW or larger turbines have been installed. The basis for the review is both existing …

The environmental pollution and growing energy demand necessitate the development of
power generation using renewable energy systems, especially solar photovoltaic (PV) …

Due to the mounting demand for energy and increasing population of the world, switching
from nonrenewable fossil fuels to other energy sources is not an option-it is a necessity …

Among the primary uses of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) are small-scale
applications, such as electricity generation in urban areas or isolated contexts, which are not …

We review the development of wind turbines for generating electricity from the late 19th
century to the present, summarizing some key characteristics. We trace the move from two to …

An increase in the efficiency of Small Wind Turbines (SWTs) by aerodynamic optimisation of
the blade geometry is limited (low Reynolds number influence). Solutions such as the …

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the H-Darrieus wind turbine aerodynamic
performance, aerodynamic blade loads, and velocity profiles downstream behind the rotor …

Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are vulnerable to ice-induced vibrations (IIV) when they are
located in ice-prone regions with drifting sea ice. The ice-induced frequency lock-in (FLI) …

Small wind turbines are an attractive technology for decentralized electricity generation.
However, there are some risks, which need to be evaluated to enable safe operation of the …
