Conflicts In Betz Limit and An Alternative Approach for Wind Turbines
2020 IEEE Region 10 Symposium (TENSYMP), 2020The popularly accepted Betz limit for wind turbines calculates that the incoming wind speed can be reduced to only a third, and efficiency can be at most 59.3 %. This paper suggests that Betz may be based on the paradoxical derivation and assumption that wind speed at the turbine is the average of the incoming and outgoing wind speeds.

The Betz limit applied to Airborne Wind Energy
Renewable Energy, 2018Abstract In this paper we revisit the modeling framework used to derive the Betz limit of power extraction from the wind based on linear momentum theory. One of our contributions is to suggest that the Betz limit of 16 / 27 ≈ 59 % should in fact hold true for any device that harvests power through drag or torque in a horizontal-axis ...

Exceeding the Betz limit with tidal turbines
Renewable Energy, 2013Abstract The Betz limit sets a theoretical upper limit for the power production by turbines expressed as a maximum power coefficient of 16/27. While power production by wind turbines falls short of the Betz limit, tidal turbines in a channel can theoretically have a power coefficient several times larger than 16/27.

Beating Betz: Energy Extraction Limits in a Constrained Flow Field
Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, Transactions of the ASME, 2009Abstract Experiments with diffusers and other flow concentrating devices have shown that the power performance coefficient Cp of an energy extraction device, defined in relation to the area of flow intercepted at the device, may exceed the Betz limit.

Reexamination of Betz’s Limit for Wind Engines
Journal of Contemporary Physics (Armenian Academy of Sciences), 2021Wind energy is one of the main factors in the future transition to renewable energies. Hence, it is important to understand how much work can be extracted from the kinetic energy of the wind. Understanding these constraints is important for setting correct strategic goals in wind power research and industry.

Optimal Distribution of the Disk Load: Validity of the Betz–Joukowsky Limit
AIAA Journal, 2022The popular axial momentum theory relies on the steady, incompressible, axisymmetric, and inviscid flow through a so-called actuator disk. The most important result of this theory is the famous Betz–Joukowsky limit, stating that the maximum power coefficient achievable by an open disk is limited to 16/27.

Betz Limit Not an Exact Optimum
Wind Engineering, 2013The Betz high speed ratio limit has not been derived in the complete generality that would prove it absolute for an unshrouded actuator. The assumed uniform wake or thrust loading is hard to prove optimal. Many authors also assume uniform flow at the rotor or equivalently the differential form of the momentum equation but neither is necessary in the ...
