. Horizontal axis wind turbines suffer from aerodynamic inefficiencies in the blade root region (near the hub) due to several non-aerodynamic constraints. Aerodynamic interactions between turbines in a wind farm also lead to significant loss of wind farm

General momentum theory for wind turbines at low tip speed ratios
General momentum theory is used to study the behaviour of the ‘classical’ free vortex wake model of Joukowsky. This model has recently attained considerable attention as it shows the possibility of achieving a power performance that greatly exceeds the ...

Ducted Horizontal Axis Marine Turbine Design for the race of Alderney [PDF]
International audienceTo convert the kinetic energy of marine current into electricity, the most sensible generator is a horizontal axis turbine. The know-how and the tools used for marine propulsion devices find a new range of applications in this field.

The power coefficient of windmills in ideal conditions
The windmill efficiency, also designated as the power coefficient, is defined as the ratio of the actual power output to the power present in the free stream of a fluid flowing through the same cross-sectional area. There are remarks in the literature to

Development of a system for testing grid-connected permanent magnet wind generators
Renewable energy will be included in the South African Energy Mix over the next two decades. The introduction of renewable energy will reduce South Africa's carbon emissions and also stimulate the economy through job creation as well as creating a local ...
