Optimisation of vertical axis wind turbines [PDF]
A practical Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWTs) based on a Darrieus rotor has been designed and tested and found to be capable of self-starting at wind speeds above 4m/s. The self-start feature has been achieved by replacing the usual symmetrical aerofoil blade in the VAWT rotor and by using a concentric Savonius rotor or semi-cylinder turbine.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines Intelligent Farms
The need of making wind farms more efficient demands the assessments of new concepts, bringing these to the demonstration level. This chapter targets more specifically floating wind farms of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs). These wind farms are specifically suitable for harvesting wind energy at deep-sea waters, the next frontier of offshore wind ...
