EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...

A modern day windmill that is good for the environment and your wallet. Sept. 16, 2010— -- Moving to alternative energy reduces our dependence on foreign oil, but it is not always easy or ...

Researchers at CalTech have found a way to increase the power output of wind farms at least 10x simply by optimizing the placement of wind turbines in a farm to "maximize its energy collecting ...

Onshore, offshore, and up in the air—the power of wind is evident in the changing energy landscape. Advancements in wind power technology are many, with developers in both the onshore and offshore ...

A new artificial intelligence system has designed a wind turbine for the first time in history, according to its developer. The British company EvoPhase claims that its AI has thrown all the ...

A numerical optimization scheme was developed for the calculation of optimum pitch control laws for straight bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT). It is shown that the optimum pitch control law ...

The Savonius turbine is a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) suitable to be mounted on rooftops of highrise buildings. It is a viable technology for power generation. The operating parameters and rotor ...
