Due to their potential to beat the Betz–Joukowsky limit for power extraction, diffuser-
augmented wind-turbines have experienced a great research interest, especially in the last …

A systematic review and analysis of the literature of diffuser-augmented horizontal-axis
turbines are presented. A collection of 155 articles in the area is analyzed and classified …

In this study, a novel optimization technique called the Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm based
on Blade Element Momentum Theory (ABC-BEM) was developed and applied for the first …

This study presents experimental and numerical investigation for the effect of number of
blade (solidity) on the power and thrust coefficients of a small-scale horizontal-axis wind …

Wind-lens turbines offer the potential for better energy efficiency and better suitability for
urban and suburban environments compared to unshrouded or bare wind turbines. Wind …

The study investigates the soundness of a popular uncoupled design strategy for diffuser-
augmented wind turbines (DAWTs), namely the use of an annular wing to enclose an …

For the first time, the geometry of the Invelox wind delivery system is optimized in this paper
using a multi-objective surrogate-based optimization method. The feasibility of electricity …

This paper aims to enhance the performance of H-Darrieus Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
(VAWT) via introducing upstream deflectors. The impact of this addition has been …

The manuscript investigates aerodynamic performance of an airborne wind turbine with
varying shell configurations in an effort to elaborate the influence of shell aerodynamics on …

Abstract Diffuser Augmented Wind Turbines (DAWT) are an optimised class of wind turbines
that use a Diffuser to accelerate and direct air flow onto a wind turbine rotor to drive it for …
