Increasing the Power Production of Vertical-Axis Wind-Turbine Farms Using Synergistic Clustering

open access: yesBoundary-layer Meteorology, 2018
Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are being reconsidered as a complementary technology to the more widely used horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) due to their unique suitability for offshore deployments. In addition, field experiments have confirmed

Fish schooling as a basis for vertical axis wind turbine farm design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Most wind farms consist of horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) due to the high power coefficient (mechanical power output divided by the power of the free-stream air through the turbine cross-sectional area) of an isolated turbine. However when in close proximity to neighbouring turbines, HAWTs suffer from a reduced power coefficient.

Gas turbine diagnostic system [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
The creation of the systems models is very actual at present time, because it allow to simulate the work of some complex equipment without any additional spends. The given model of gas turbine is allowed to test and optimize the software for gas turbine automation systems, study station personal, like operators and engineers and will be useful for ...

Future on Power Electronics for Wind Turbine Systems

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics, 2013
Wind power is still the most promising renewable energy in the year of 2013. The wind turbine system (WTS) started with a few tens of kilowatt power in the 1980s. Now, multimegawatt wind turbines are widely installed even up to 6-8 MW.

Effects of Reynolds Number on the Energy Conversion and Near-Wake Dynamics of a High Solidity Vertical-Axis Cross-Flow Turbine

open access: yes, 2016
Experiments were performed with a large laboratory-scale high solidity cross-flow turbine to investigate Reynolds number effects on performance and wake characteristics and to establish scale thresholds for physical and numerical modeling of individual ...

A Combined High and Low Cycle Fatigue Model for Life Prediction of Turbine Blades

open access: yesMaterials, 2017
Combined high and low cycle fatigue (CCF) generally induces the failure of aircraft gas turbine attachments. Based on the aero-engine load spectrum, accurate assessment of fatigue damage due to the interaction of high cycle fatigue (HCF) resulting from ...

A New Miniature Wind Turbine for Wind Tunnel Experiments. Part I: Design and Performance

open access: yes, 2017
Miniature wind turbines, employed in wind tunnel experiments to study the interaction of turbines with turbulent boundary layers, usually suffer from poor performance with respect to their large-scale counterparts in the field.
