... Abstract Erosion on wind turbine blades due to falling water droplets cannot be quantitatively measured with modern methods of analysis. Initially, erosion caused by water droplets was ignored in wind turbine designs because the rotational speed did not reach the erosion threshold; with larger...

... harvesting feasibility on Mars will be studied by employing the Mars Climate Database (MCD) model. In addition, this novel research provides a systematic approach for future energy harvesting projects on Mars. Moreover, it evaluates different potential wind turbine design concepts applicable for the Martian...

...Abstract Abstract Wind turbines can create turbulence and downstream wakes which can introduce generation losses of downstream impacted turbines. These downstream turbine-induced losses are due to two different conditions. The first is from power-producing rotating blades of upstream wind...
