Floating vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) display considerable advantages over
horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) due to their Omni directionality, better structural …

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 …

Abstract Straight-bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (SB-VAWTs) have recently attracted
much attention as they are considered to be an option for wind energy utilization, whether in …

This study designs a deflector to enhance the performance of a three-bladed vertical axis
wind turbine (VAWT) through the Taguchi method in association with a modified additive …

Wind tunnel tests were conducted to systematically assess the aerodynamic performance of
both H-rotor and helical vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) in smooth and turbulent flows …

In urban areas, vertical axis wind turbines have been installed on both sides of the road and
rooftop. Compared with rooftop, vertical axis wind turbines mounted on the side of a building …

During the last decade, there was an increased interest in wind turbine icing. Most of the
icing studies are related to horizontal axis wind turbine icing (HAWT). Vertical axis wind …

Abstract The Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) have an increasing global market and
this emphasis the need for to improve the performance of VAWTs, especially at relatively low …

The numerous advantages of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) have made them
suitable for urban areas compared to other types of wind turbines; however, the occurrence …

The current design of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) suffers from inevitable change in
tip speed ratio, λ, in variant wind conditions due to fixed rotor speed. At relatively high wind …
