Blockage effects in wind farms

open access: yesWind Energy, 2020
An experimental study of wind farm blockage has been performed to quantify the velocity decrease that the first row of a wind farm experiences due to the presence of the other turbines downstream.

The reliability of wind turbines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The residual scepticism surrounding the installation of wind turbines, is mainly due to the perceived lack of reliability and expense of these energy converters. Because of the commercial significance of reliability, few sources of such data are publicly

Modelling the aerodynamics of vertical-axis wind turbines in unsteady wind conditions

open access: yes, 2013
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 ...

Performance and Economic Analysis of Multi-Rotor Wind Turbine

open access: yesEmitter: International Journal of Engineering Technology, 2018
Power production of a wind turbine is dependent upon its rotor size and at present wind turbines with large rotor diameter (>175 m) are available in the market. However major problems associated with such large size conventional turbines are their cost &
