With the increased need for alternative energy sources, wind energy has become a hotly
debated topic. Improving the performance of a wind turbine has been a significant focus of …

The designers of horizontal axis wind turbines and tidal current turbines are increasingly
focusing their attention on the design of blade sections appropriate for specific applications …

The increasing size and flexibility of large wind turbine blades introduces considerable
aeroelastic effects, which are caused by FSI (fluid structure interaction). These effects might …

The performance of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) deteriorates at low tip speed ratios
(TSR) and it is mainly characterized by flow separation and dynamic stall. Several mitigating …

Aeroelastic analysis of a full scale composite wind turbine blade is investigated using its 3D
model. Aerodynamic loading is determined using modified Blade Element Momentum theory …

There has been much recent interest in the development of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
(VAWTs), especially for use in off-grid or off-shore electricity generation, due to inherent …

In the analysis of the aerodynamic performance of wind turbines, the need to account for the
effects of rotation is important as engineering models often failed to predict these …

Wind turbine efficiency can drop drastically away from design conditions, which is especially
troublesome for small fixed-pitch, constant speed types of devices and those operating in …

Most hydrodynamic vertical axis turbine concepts use solid blades with active adjustable
pitch. These turbines generally need external starting or active pitching mechanisms to …

We present a project management methodology designed for the selection of wind turbines
