RISAn Experimental Study of the Aerodynamics and Performance of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine in a Confined and Unconfined Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a wide experimental study on an Htype vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) carried out at the Politecnico di Milano. The experiments were carried out in a largescale wind tunnel, where wind ...
Time-Resolved Experimental Characterization of the Wakes Shed by H-Shaped and Troposkien Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the aerodynamics of two vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are discussed, on the basis of a wide set of experiments performed at Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy. A H-shaped and a Troposkien Darrieus ...
Selection Criteria for Rotor Number and Rotational Direction in Arrays of Closely Spaced Darrieus Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The efficiency gains observed in a pair of closely spaced Darrieus turbines suggest the deployment of multiple turbines as an appealing solution for wind and, particularly, hydrokinetic applications, where the inflow ...
