Modern wind farms require significant land resources to separate each wind turbine from the adjacent turbine wakes. These aerodynamic constraints limit the amount of power that can be extracted from a ...

Opinion: Are "school of fish" turbine arrays a red herring? By Mike Barnard July 23, 2013 John Dabiri has hypothesized and tested counter-rotating arrays of vertical axis wind turbines based on fish ...

Researchers have used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines, which despite their high energy potential, have until now been ...
