There are many advantages of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) compared with horizontal
axis wind turbines (HAWTs). Research has shown that VAWTs are more suitable for …

Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are advantageous than horizontal axis wind turbines
(HAWTs) in terms of portability and ease of application in urban areas and turbulent …

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 presents an investigation into the behaviour of a Savonius wind turbine using
Large Eddy Simulation (LES) through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The turbine …

Additional guide vane (GV) to the Savonius rotor is used to overcome the low rotor
efficiency. This study is experimentally carried out to know the influence of guide vane in …

The wind turbine power decreases at low wind speed. A flanged diffuser plays a role of a
device for collecting and accelerating the approaching wind, and thus the optimization of the …

Liquid fossil fuel is anticipated to run out by the mid-2060s. The destruction of land, water,
and air due to fossil fuel use contributes to environmental degradation. Policymakers …

Abstract Vertical Axis Wind Turbines are more suitable for urban areas than Horizontal Axis
Wind Turbines because they operate at lower wind speeds, and produce less noise, and are …

The rapid globalization of the energy crisis and the adverse effects of global warming have
caused the need for non-conventional energy resources to be felt more than ever. As a …

Horizontal axis turbines are commonly used for harnessing renewable hydrokinetic energy,
contained in marine and river currents. In order to encourage the expansion of electricity …
