Comparison between Lift and Drag-Driven VAWT Concepts on Low-Wind Site AEO
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between the annual energy output (AEO) of two commercial vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) for a low-wind urban site: both a drag-driven and a lift-driven concepts are examined in order to be installed on top of the new Via dei Giustinelli building, Trieste (Italy).
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerodynamic Benchmarking of the Deepwind Design
Gabriele Bedon,Uwe Schmidt Paulsen,Helge Aagaard Madsen,Federico Belloni,Marco Raciti Castelli,Ernesto Benini +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an aerodynamic benchmarking for the DeepWind rotor is conducted comparing different rotor geometries and solutions and keeping the comparison as fair as possible, the objective for the benchmarking is to find the most suitable configuration in order to maximize the power production and minimize the blade solicitation and the cost of energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Retrospective of High-Lift Device Technology
TL;DR: In this paper, the most adopted technical solutions for the enhancement of the lift force of a wing were discussed, and the most advanced aerodynamic solutions to avoid the separation of the boundary layer from aircraft wings at high angles of attack were reviewed.
Journal Article
Numerical Analysis of the Influence of Tip Devices on the Power Coefficient of a VAWT
TL;DR: In the present work, different tip devices are considered and simulated against a baseline rotor configuration, with the aim of identifying the best tip architecture and a comparative analysis on the most promising architectures is conducted.
Journal Article
Experimental Tests of a Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine with Twisted Blades
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental campaign of measurements for a Darrieus vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) was presented for open field conditions, which is characterized by a twisted bladed design, each blade being placed at a fixed distance from the rotational shaft.
