The paper presents both a numerical and an experimental approach to study the air flow characteristics of a novel small wind turbine and to predict its performance. The turbine model was generated based on impulse turbine principles in order to be employed in an omni-flow wind energy system in urban areas. The results have shown that the maximum flow velocity behind the stator can be increased ...

Although fossil fuel is the main energy supplier of the worldwide economy, due to its ad‐ verse effects on environment, the scientists look for alternative resources in power genera‐ tion. Electricity generation using renewable energy has been well recognized as environmentally friendly, socially beneficial, and economically competitive for many appli‐ cations. Wind turbines, photovoltaic syste...

In future planning of the city, it is very important to consider the proper intelligent integration of renewable energy sources into the built environment for developing smart cities. Analysis of the wind velocity profile in the built environment is very important for finding out the energy content in the wind and also to analyze the performance of wind turbines in the built environment. In thi...

The further integration of wind energy into electrical power systems poses operational challenges as the variability in wind power reduces transient stability. To guarantee a stable and secure power system operation, maximum allowable power ramps are defined in grid codes that transmission service operators (TSOs) specify. In this thesis it shall be investigated how a wind power system with ene...

1. Abstract Conventional wind turbine blades have been designed using fatigue life predictions based on a fixed wind load distribution that does not fully capture uncertainty of the wind load. This could result in early fatigue failure of blades and eventually increase the maintenance cost of wind turbines. To produce reliable as well as economical wind turbine blades, this paper studies reliab...

By utilizing condition monitoring information collected from wind turbine components, condition based maintenance (CBM) strategy can be used to reduce the operation and maintenance costs of wind power generation systems. The existing CBM methods for wind power generation systems deal with wind turbine components separately, that is, maintenance decisions are made on individual components, rathe...

Despite rapid and vast development of wind turbines across the Canadian province of Ontario, there is no map available indicating the location of each wind turbine. A map of this nature is crucial for health and environmental risk research and has many applications in other fields. Research examining health and wind turbines is limited by the available maps showing the nearest community to a wi...

-With the development of the of China's electric power system, wind power, as a clean energy, can be used to optimize the structure of electrical energy, thus can largely reduce the emission of pollutants and contribute to the sustainable development of the national economy. In wind power projects, scientific and rational choice for the wind turbine generator in actual wind farm is the core par...
