Trichy: A vertical axis wind turbine which can generate 0.5 kw of electricity has been installed at a community centre in a village near Trichy by the Extension department (Shepherd) of St Joseph's ...

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 ...

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...
