Modelling the aerodynamics of vertical-axis wind turbines in unsteady wind conditions [PDF]
Most numerical and experimental studies of the performance of vertical-axis wind turbines have been conducted with the rotors in steady, and thus somewhat artificial, wind conditions - with the result that turbine aerodynamics, under varying wind ...

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

Optimization of constant power control of wind turbines to provide power reserves [PDF]
In several countries, the wind power penetration increased tremendously in the last years. As the current wind turbines do not participate in frequency control nor reserve provision, this may compromise the proper functioning of the primary control and ...
