Abstract The Angle of Attack (AOA) of the Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) blades has a
dominant role in the generation of the aerodynamic forces and the power generation of the …

Dynamic stall flow conditions affect the performance of most Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
(VAWT) designs; however, the associated losses are especially relevant in smaller turbines …

The vertical axis wind turbine is one of the most attractive propulsion systems for sustainable
energy generation around the globe. The performance of a vertical axis wind turbine is …

Unlike horizontal axis turbines, the Darrieus-type wind turbines have less efficiency and
suffer from the self-starting inability. The effects of fixed and variable blade pitch angle as an …

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are currently one of the most popular
methods for the modelling of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) that gives good insight on …

Blade pitch angle regulation is an effective approach to enhance the performance of H-type
Darrieus Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs). Improving the blade interaction with the wind …
