Wind energy is crucial for meeting climate and energy sustainability targets. Small wind
turbines (SWTs) have gained significant attention due to their size and adaptability. These …

Omnidirectionality and simple design make VAWTs more attractive compared to HAWTs in
highly turbulent and harsh operational environments including low wind speed conditions …

Indonesia has a lot of tidal current energy resources that can be harnessed using a vertical-
axis turbine. However, one of the disadvantages of the vertical-axis turbine is its low self …

The Darrieus wind turbine has a low starting torque, which is one of its main disadvantages.
The main objective of the present study is to design an advanced Darrieus wind turbine …

A cross-flow HKT can be deployed in rivers and canals having a shallow depth of water to
harness the kinetic energy from free stream water. Few studies have been carried out on the …

Increasing numbers of turnouts are being laid, with the rapid development of high-speed
railways on the Tibetan Plateau. Ensuring the proper operation of turnouts has received …

Wind turbine blade is extremely prone to leading edge erosion under complicated operation
conditions. This decreases the aerodynamic performance and power generation efficiency …

The double darrieus vertical axis wind turbine (DD-VAWT) demonstrates excellent wind
capture at low tip speed ratios. In this work, first of all, a 3D numerical computational model …

Flow separation on blades is the main factor to reduce the power efficiency of vertical axis
wind turbine (VAWT). A bio-inspired flow control device called adaptive flap is considered to …

Darrieus turbines face difficulty to self-start, especially in environments with fluctuating
inflows that cause them to deviate repeatedly from their designed operating parameters. To …
