... ABSTRACT Vertical Axial Wind Turbine (VAWT) has advantages to utilize wind energy at vertical wind section and to adapt changeful wind direction so that VAWT becomes latest wind turbine type for deep-open sea. In order to discuss load characteristics of floating VAWT caused by coupling...

... as an effective solution to alleviate the dynamic stall effect of wind turbine. INTRODUCTION Wind turbine is considered as an efficient device to convert sustainable wind energy into electricity to meet the growing power demands. It is supposed that the floating vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) would show...

...-solar-aquaculture (WSA) system, combining multiple megawatt (MW) vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and solar arrays with a floating steel fish-farming cage, is presented. The WSA aims to exploit the marine resources more effectively, while significantly shorten the payback period of investment...

... wind turbines (VAWTs) also possess great research significance and application market because of the lower cost and more stable structure. However, the relatively low power coefficient of VAWTs has long been the bottleneck for its further widespread use. From the previous researches, the selection...
