The restructuring of the energy industry is imperative, as New Zealand strives to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. New Zealand has abundant renewable energy resources, and …

Among renewable sources of energy, wind is the most widely used resource due to its
commercial acceptance, low cost and ease of operation and maintenance, relatively much …

In this paper, an energy and exergy analysis is performed on four different wind power
systems, including both horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines. Significant variability in …

The growth of the world energy demand, the limited fossil fuel reserves and the increasing
greenhouse gas emissions require improvements in energy-generation technologies …

In this paper, a review is presented of academic literature regarding urban wind speeds for
building mounted wind turbines. Site measurement of wind speed requires time and money …

This paper describes the concept development and work to date, of an innovative
'true'building integrated wind turbine. The context for this is the role of small-scale renewable …

Providing reliable, environmentally friendly, and affordable energy has been a goal for many
countries throughout the world. Hydrogen is presented as new energy sources during the …

Urban wind energy research is crucial for the success or failure of wind turbines installed in
the built environment. Research in this field is fragmented into various research groups …

This paper presents a preliminary energy and environmental analysis of a vertical-axis micro
wind turbine with a nominal electric power of 3.7 kW. This prototype is called AM300. The …

This study presents a design of an efficient mobile vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) that is
collapsible for relocation purposes. The wings of the turbine retract into the base shaft via a …
