A major benefit of vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) compared with their (upwind) horizontal counterparts (HAWTs) is that they can draw wind from all directions while not needing a yaw system. A main disadvantage compared with modern, large-scale HAWTs is much lower aerodynamic efficiency. See more The study, “Numerical modelling and optimisation of vertical-axis wind-turbine pairs: A scale-up approach” was originally published in Elsevier’s Renewable Energy journal in March. It is … See more Lead author Joachim Toftegaard Hansen explained why the team chose an H-type Darrieus rotor shape with a 20-metre rotor diameter for the analysis: “Other studies have verified similar performance augmentations for … See more The pathway to commercialisation of VAWT technology up to state-of-the-art HAWT levels was not covered in the study but will be far from easy with many hurdles (see and … See more In contrast, with VAWTs the rotor rotating-axis is vertical, so the rotor thus always spins in the same plane, Sørensen explains. As a result, … See more WebWorcester Polytechnic Institute
