Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental and numerical study of the vortex structure in the wake of a wind turbine
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation into the properties of the vortex wake behind a wind turbine rotor has been carried out at model scale, using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), the two-blade model was operated at tip speed ratios in the range λ=3-8, and chord Reynolds numbers Re=6400-16
Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of dust to performance degradation of PV modules in a temperate climate zone
TL;DR: In this paper, the contribution of dust to the long-term performance degradation of various photovoltaic (PV) modules that have been operating for almost eighteen years without any cleaning procedures at the Renewable Energy Outdoor Testing Area (ROTA), Murdoch University, Perth, Australia was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban wind conditions and small wind turbines in the built environment: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the extent to which the international design standard for small wind turbines, IEC 41400-2, is valid for urban installations and showed that the wind models incorporated in IEC 61400 -2 is not suitable for installation of SWTs in the built environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Driving electric vehicles at highway speeds: The effect of higher driving speeds on energy consumption and driving range for electric vehicles in Australia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of auxiliary loads on vehicle energy consumption and drivable range of EVs on highway driving and showed a significantly reduced range under conditions relevant for highway driving, and significant deviation from driving ranges published by EV manufacturers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the near wake structure of a wind turbine comparing measurements from laboratory and full-scale experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used particle image velocimetry (PIV) at stations downstream from a model wind turbine rotor, and evaluated against experimental data from two full-scale machines.
