The type of wind turbine you’re used to seeing in stock photos of wind farms is called a horizontal axis wind turbine (or, HAWT). But there is another form of wind power, called a vertical axis wind ...

Where conventional large horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) have to support a large mass of motor and generators in a nacelle at the top of their enormous towers, WWW's design keeps all its ...

Discover the future of wind energy with our in-depth comparison between vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and traditional ...

Discover the future of wind energy as we compare traditional horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) with the innovative IceWind ...

CEO at Freen OU, a small wind turbine manufacturer. We're delivering sustainable energy projects across EU, Middle East, Africa & Asia. I believe that the role of renewable energy has never been more ...

Compact (H-type) vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are not as familiar as their horizontal-axis, propeller-type cousins. The two have their origins in the windmills of the 12th century, and even ...

This paper describes the formulation of a new model for the wake of a horizontal-axis wind turbine. As in many other models, the trailing vorticity is represented by a number of vortex lines which ...

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% ...

There are plenty of places outside where you may like to have a project requiring electricity that may not get enough sun for solar power to be viable. Perhaps wind power could be used instead? [Greg] ...
