Application of Circulation Controlled Blades for Vertical Axis Wind Turbines [PDF]
, 2013 The blades of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) rotor see an inconsistent angle of attack through its rotation. Consequently, VAWT blades generally use symmetrical aerofoils with a lower lift-to-drag ratio than cambered aerofoils tailored to maximise ...

Research on the Power Output of Different Floating Wind Farms Considering the Wake Effect
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringFor floating wind turbines, one of the most interesting and challenging issues is that the movement of the rotor is strongly related to its floating platform, which results in corresponding variations in the wake characteristics of the turbine.

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2013 Objective : In recent years, claims have proliferated in cyberspace that wind turbines cause a large variety of symptoms and diseases. One of these, “vibroacoustic disease” (VAD) is frequently mentioned. The aim of this study is to examine the quality of

Design and construction of a simple blade pitch measurement system for small wind turbines
, 2009 For small wind turbines to be reliable they must have in place good mechanisms to protect themselves against very high winds or sudden removal of load. One common protection method in small wind turbines is that of blade feathering.
