Introducción: la energía eólica ha crecido de forma acelerada en los últimos 20 años y los
sitios para instalar parques eólicos se empiezan a agotar. Las turbinas eólicas de pequeña …

The adaptation to changes in flow direction is the premise to harness the bidirectional flow
energy for a tidal stream turbine. Present studies usually aim at active variable-pitch or …

Diffuser technology placed around hydrokinetic rotors may improve the conversion of the
fluid's kinetic energy into shaft power. However, rotor blades are susceptible to the …

Savonius turbines for wind and hydrokinetic applications both operate on the same principle
in terms of power generation. However, the effects of their power performance when …

Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) work efficiently in low wind speed regions and varying
wind directions like urban environments due to their omnidirectional capability. The current …

In many small wind turbine blades, the interior space between laminate skins is filled by a
material core. The mechanical properties of the core are much less important than its …
