Meeting future world energy needs while addressing climatic changes has led to greater
strain on conventional power sources. One of the viable sustainable energy sources is wind …

Energy is the prime mover of economic growth and is vital to sustain a modern economic
and social development. Renewable energy applications have brought about significant …

The performance of a Savonius wind turbine with constant cross-sections is examined by
means of quasi 2D flow predictions executed in ANSYS CFX. Simulations were performed in …

A cross-flow wind turbine has a high torque coefficient at a low tip speed ratio; therefore, it is
a good candidate for a self-starting turbine. This study aims to investigate the best …

This paper introduces an optimization procedure of a modified Savonius rotor with different
convex and concave sides to maximize the power efficiency. A series of transient …

Savonius rotor is preferred for many power generation applications like tidal, wind and
hydro, especially on a small scale by virtue of its simple and inexpensive construction …

It is a priority to generate affordable and reliable energy with higher participation of
renewable energy technologies into the global energy mix to provide efficient sustainable …

A possible way to capture the kinetic energy available in the wind and then convert it into a
useful form of energy is to use wind turbines. Out of many kinds of wind turbines, a lot of in …

Present study is focussed on improvement of the coefficient of performance (COP) of a
Savonius rotor using numerical simulation software. Quantification of the improvement is …

This work presents a calibration study of the k–ω SST turbulence model for small scale wind
turbines. To accomplish this, two different sets of blades were designed, built, tested and …
