Optimal blade pitch control for enhanced vertical-axis wind turbine
In this study, we demonstrate that individual blade pitching is an effective control strategy to improve the performance of vertical-axis wind turbines across tip-speed ratios.
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines – Why They Work (and When They Don''t)?
Safety for Wildlife: Vertical-axis turbines operate with low-speed blades, reducing the risk of harm to birds and bats. A study published in Renewable Energy in 2022 noted that urban
Towards smart blades for vertical axis wind turbines: different airfoil
Smart technology, based on morphing blades, is one of the promising tools that could make this possible. The present study serves as a first step towards designing morphing blades as
Critical overview of vertical-axis wind turbine blades: design
To overcome these drawbacks, VAWTs are omnidirectional, operate with lower noise levels, have lower cut-in and higher cut-out wind speed ranges, and they better comply with semi

The forces and the velocities acting in a Darrieus turbine are depicted in Figure 1. The resultant velocity vector,, is the vectorial sum of the undisturbed upstream air velocity,, and the velocity vector of the advancing blade, . Thus the oncoming fluid velocity varies during each cycle. Maximum velocity is found for and the minimum is found for, where is the azimuthal or orbital blade position. The
Comparison of Blade Dimension Design of a Vertical Wind
Observations were carried out by analyzing the effect of wind speed on the turbine rotation and the electrical energy generated without the load connected to the output of wind turbine.
Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Design Guide: Efficient, Quiet & Reliable
Tip-speed ratio (TSR) is a key metric in vertical axis wind turbine design. At a constant wind speed, a higher TSR indicates faster rotor speed, which can lead to higher lift forces on the
Blade pitching in vertical axis wind turbines: A double multiple stream
This research delves into the performance enhancement of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) through the innovative approach of variable blade pitching based on Double Multiple
Vertical-axis wind turbine
This VAWT incorporates a wind shield which blocks the wind from the advancing blades, and thus requires a wind-direction sensor and a positioning mechanism, as opposed to the "egg-beater" types

Smart technology, based on morphing blades, is one of the promising tools that could make this possible. The present study serves as a
COMPARISON BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
It meticulously examines rotational speeds, Tip Speed Ratio, and Reynolds Number under varying wind velocities to evaluate the effectiveness of three rotor variations: Rigid, Flexible, and Semi-Flexible.
