...Walaa H. Saadeh; Mohammad D. Qandil; Ryoichi S. Amano Wind energy is a primary renewable energy source and has been one of the most promising sources of clean, long-term energy. Self-healing is the autonomous ability to recover from failure. Self-healing material systems in wind turbine blades can...

...L. Ramayee; K. Supradeepan; S. Sreejith; Amrita Priyadarshini Lobed mixer wind turbines have the lobed mixer added around the turbine, enhancing the wind power compared to conventional wind turbines. This article aims to design a bare lobed mixer that satisfies the multi-objectives of maximizing...

...Ojing Siram; Ravi Kumar; Ujjwal K. Saha; Niranjan Sahoo In recent times, the small wind farms consisting of small-scale horizontal-axis wind turbines (SHAWTs) have emerged as suitable candidates for electric power generation. In view of this, an experimental study on the arrays of two SHAWTs has...

...L. Ramayee; K. Supradeepan Diffuser augmented wind turbines (DAWTs) are incredibly beneficial to low wind speed areas. The duct that surrounds the turbine improves the power output by accelerating the approaching wind directing the wind through the blade. The power output of DAWT mainly depends...

... energy sources such as wind energy. Among different types of wind turbines, Savonius vertical axis in spite of its fascinating advantages including low rotational speed and noise, self-start capability, and independency relative to wind direction has gained less attention in industry due to low energy...

...Amin A. Mohammed; Ahmet Z. Sahin; Hassen M. Ouakad A double multiple streamtube model coupled with variable pitch methodology is used to analyze the performance characteristics of a small-scale straight-bladed Darrieus type vertical axis wind turbine (SB-VAWT). The numerical study revealed...

...Ali Behrouzifar; Masoud Darbandi The fluid–structure interaction (FSI) is generally addressed in multimegawatt wind turbine calculations. From the fluid flow perspective, the semi-analytical approaches, like actuator disk (AD) model, were commonly used in wind turbine rotor calculations. Indeed...

...Jinge Chen; Xin Shen; Xiaocheng Zhu; Zhaohui Du The vertical wind shear is one of the major sources of fatigue loads on the blades of a horizontal axis wind turbine. Traditionally, the active individual pitch control system is used to alleviate the cyclic load fluctuations, which requires sensors...

... generation using wind turbines, is renewable and clean with little adverse effects on the environment. Currently, the global cumulative installed wind capacity is more than 430 gigawatts (GW) with a growth rate of nearly 20% per year, as shown in Fig. 1 [ 2 ]. There is now over 142 GW of installed wind...
