The world's first offshore wind farm was installed in 1991 off the coast of Vindeby on the Danish island of Lolland. It ...

A concept rendering of offshore vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). What makes renewable energy so exciting is the immense economic potential of groundbreaking technology advancements. A recent ...

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...

These scale model wind turbines use fixed-pitch blades to evaluate a new vertical axis wind turbine design. Vertical axis wind turbines are easier to install than traditional horizontal axis wind ...

Instead of a hulking rotor, New World Wind plants “trees” covered in tiny leaf-shaped micro-turbines. Each Aeroleaf is a vertical-axis unit designed to sip energy from turbulent, low, urban winds ...

Compact (H-type) vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are not as familiar as their horizontal-axis, propeller-type cousins. The two have their origins in the windmills of the 12th century, and even ...

13 February 2003 – A team of wind power experts are hoping that heightened interest in the renewable energy market will enable them to re-launch Eurowind Developments Limited, a company which promotes ...

The type of wind turbine you’re used to seeing in stock photos of wind farms is called a horizontal axis wind turbine (or, HAWT). But there is another form of wind power, called a vertical axis wind ...

A vertical wind turbine has been successfully installed at a community centre in Yagapudayanpatti, near Trichy, providing ...

Trichy: A vertical axis wind turbine which can generate 0.5 kw of electricity has been installed at a community centre in a ...

South Australian engineers have successfully re-engineered and tested a vertical-axis wind turbine that can be used in urban ...

Wind Engineering, Vol. 41, No. 1 (February 2017), pp. 74-90 (17 pages) Abstract The performance of a 5-m diameter Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine was predicted using both a double multiple ...
