Optimization of the power output from ducted turbines
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a shrouded turbine has been analyzed using one-dimensional theory by treating the ducts upstream and downstream of the turbine as contractions or expansions having specified diffusion efficiencies.

Upgrading conventional wind turbines
F Bet,H. Grassmann +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of a wind turbine with a wing profiled ring around it is presented to study the resulting increase in power and in order to estimate what the geometrical size of such an apparatus would need to be and whether it could be of advantage compared to conventional devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance investigation of a power augmented vertical axis wind turbine for urban high-rise application
TL;DR: In this article, a power augmentation-guide-vane (PAGV) was designed to improve the wind rotor performance by increasing the on-coming wind speed and guiding it to an optimum flow angle before it interacts with the rotor blades.

INVELOX: Description of a new concept in wind power and its performance evaluation
TL;DR: In this article, a new concept in wind power harnessing is described which significantly outperforms traditional wind turbines of the same diameter and aerodynamic characteristics under the same wind conditions and it delivers significantly higher output, at reduced cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape optimization and experimental validation of a drag vertical axis wind turbine
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the drag type wind turbines, which have strong potential in small electric power generation demands, and the scenario of this work is divided into two sections; the first one is the numerical analysis for the conventional Savonius with fully optimizing for the shape of the blade using a genetic algorithm.
