Performance Analysis of a Combined Blade Savonius Wind Turbines
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to improve wind turbine performance by combining a conventional blade with an elliptical blade into a combined blade rotor, which has better dragging flow and overlap flow than the conventional and elliptical blades.

Numerical analysis of vertical axis wind turbine
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the aerodynamic evaluation of a vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) to improve its torque characteristics has been analyzed using a solid modeling software ANSYS FLUENT which is linked to a finite volume Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for the calculation of rotor performance.

Wind Resource Potential in Los Taques-Venezuela
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a very comprehensive wind resource assessment at Los Taques, Venezuela based on on-site observation anemometry, which is unique paper because it is the first ever wind energy assessment in LosTaques using hourly data recorded during three years in an onsite ground weather station contrary to studies based on daily values based on radar or satellite data.
