Investigating the Effects of Air‐Jet on the Performance of a Hybrid Darrieus–Savonius Wind Turbine

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The power performance of a hybrid three–bladed H‐Darrieus turbine and a two‐bladed Savonius turbine is analyzed by adding air‐jet deflectors. Aluminum is selected for the blade design due to its high strength, lightweight, and corrosion resistance. Experimental analyses were conducted using the developed prototype with and without an air jet in an open

Meteorological Assessment of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Energy Microgeneration Potentials Across Two Swiss Cities Located in Complex Terrain

Wind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Wind energy is the most mature renewable energy technology; however, its exploitation in cities is often met with skepticism. Thanks to their ability to operate at low wind speed regardless of direction, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) offer an attractive opportunity for wind energy harvesting in cities. However, limited evidence exists on
