Wind energy is one of the most promising renewable energy resources for power
generation, and rapid growth has been seen in its acceptance since 2000. The most …

In this paper, an attempt has been made to highlight major developments of vertical axis
wind turbines (VAWTs) in the last few decades. The effects of various design parameters …

This research emphasizes designing a straight-bladed Double-Darrieus hybrid vertical axis
wind turbine (VAWT) with a high power coefficient as well as self-starting capability …

This paper investigates the effect of bionic airfoil on the aerodynamic characteristic and flow
field of an H-type vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT). The pressure acting on the blade …

Abstract Vertical Axis Wind Turbines are more suitable for urban areas than Horizontal Axis
Wind Turbines because they operate at lower wind speeds, and produce less noise, and are …

This paper investigates the influence of turbine size on the aerodynamics and the force-
deflection behavior of the Savonius turbine blades built from aluminum alloy during high …

The blade pitch angle has a significant influence on the aerodynamic characteristics of
horizontal axis wind turbines. However, few research results have revealed its impact on the …

To investigate power losses of a Darrieus–Savonius combined vertical axis wind turbine
(hybrid VAWT) associated with the interaction between blades and wake, it is crucial to …

Featured Application This research provides a new pitching approach to increase the
maximum power efficiency of vertical axis type wind turbines and water turbines used to …

The wind is one of the most promising green energy resources that replenishes itselves in
less than a human lifetime without depleting the planet's resources. According to the …
