This research investigates the effect of blade density and elevation above sea level on the
startup time (Ts) and power coefficient (Cp) of a 1-kW two-bladed wind turbine. The study …

Modern utility-scale wind turbines operate in the the lower atmospheric boundary layer
(ABL), which is characterized by large gradients in mean velocity and temperature and the …

A hybrid Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes/large-eddy simulation (RANS/LES) turbulence
model integrated with a transition formulation is developed and tested on a surrogate model …

Wind energy industry thrived in the last three decades, environmental concerns and
government regulations stimulate studies on wind farm location selection and wind turbine …

In this short paper we discuss issues that will be brought up in the presentation surrounding
the range of spatial and temporal scales that create forced nonsteady responses in wind …
