Wake dynamics and blade faults analysis of turbine farms to accelerate the clean energy transition
Our research focuses on the development of novel Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) farm for extracting greater wind energy.
Research Opportunities
Summary
VAWTs can be positioned much closer together in a farm to produce more power density than HAWTs for a similar land area. Wake formation downstream of each turbine and the blade faults alter the flow field around the blades. Therefore, it is crucial to gain more insight into these effects on wind turbine performance. Computational fluid dynamics, Artificial neural network modelling techniques, and experiments will be implemented to investigate the performance of wind turbines farm.
The research would generate new innovations that will contribute towards large-scale VAWTs deployment for higher Return on Investment.
