The high emission of fossil fuels are major driving forces in renewable energy technology
development. In response, the lift-type vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) is experiencing a …

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

This paper presents a combined experimental and computational study into the
aerodynamics and performance of a small scale vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). Wind …

Since ancient past humans have attempted to harness the wind energy through diversified
means and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) were one of the major equipment to achieve …

Unlike horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs), the Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine (H-type
VAWT) has been the subject of only a few recent studies directed at improving its self …

With recent surge in fossil fuel prices and demands for renewable energy sources, vertical
axis wind turbine (VAWT) technologies have emerged out as one of the prime growing …

In this study, a CFD start-up model has been built after conducting the sensitivity studies to
evaluate the self-starting behaviour of the H-type vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). The …

Installation of H-type vertical axis wind turbines is in many cases limited by the inherent start-
up issues associated with this type of turbine. This could be crucial in environments with low …

A procedure for computing the optimal variation of the blades′ pitch angle of an H‐Darrieus
wind turbine that maximizes its torque at given operational conditions is proposed and …

Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbines have a number of potential advantages for small-
scale and domestic applications. For such applications, the issues of cost and reliability are …
