A consortium of companies in Japan is proceeding to the next phase of a project sponsored by the Japanese government to test the feasibility of large-scale floating vertical axis wind turbines. They ...
A Design-by-Morphing and Bayesian optimization framework explored 5.8 million vertical-axis wind turbine configurations and found a hybrid blade design that outperforms both Savonius and Darrieus ...
What the design still needs to establishThe US Department of Energy explains that vertical-axis turbines are a separate category from the horizontal-axis machines that are more common. Darrieus ...
Researchers have used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines, which despite their high energy potential, have until now been ...
