Abstract Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) have attracted considerable attention in
recent years due to their potential for harvesting wind energy in urban areas and low wind …

It is projected that, in the following years, the wind-energy industry will maintain its rapid
growth over the last few decades. Such growth in the industry has been accompanied by the …

A comparative analysis of seven commonly-used eddy-viscosity turbulence models for CFD
simulations of VAWTs is presented. The models include one-to four-equations, namely the …

This paper proposes approaches to determine the optimal maintenance schedules for
offshore wind system such that maintenance cost is minimized. The proposed approaches …

Harvesting a maximum power from wind turbines especially at low tip speed ratio still
remains a challenge. Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) suffer periodically from stall which …

The vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs), as common wind turbines for harvesting wind
energy, have wide prospects of development. However, the VAWTs are periodically …

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 …
