Abstract: This paper presents results from a wind tunnel based examination of the response of a wind turbine blade to tower shadow in head-on flow. In the experiment, one of the blades of a small-scale, ...

Abstract: National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA (NREL) airfoils have been specially developed for wind turbine applications, and projected to yield more annual energy without increasing the maximum power ...

Abstract: A new aerodynamic wake model has been developed for horizontal axis wind turbines. The aim is to develop an engineering tool for investigation and design of furling turbines. The prescribed ...
