Vertical-axis wind turbines are great candidates to enable wind power extraction in urban and off-shore applications. Currently, concerns around turbine efficiency and structural integrity limit ...

In this way, the researchers increased the efficiency of their vertical wind turbine in the laboratory threefold. “Our data shows that it is very likely that the service life and efficiency of ...

As they also require less space and are less dangerous for birds, such vertical wind turbines could compete with traditional models in the long term.

Vertical-axis wind turbines ... contribute to significantly enhanced turbine efficiency and robustness, turning the biggest weakness of VAWTs into a strength. “Dynamic stall – the same phenomenon that ...

SeaTwirl, a Sweden-based provider of offshore wind technology, is to partner a subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate Sumitomo Corporation in developing Japanese markets for its pioneering vertical axis ...
