Anyone who has driven around Wyoming has likely noticed large wind turbines dotting the prairie landscape. And while the large white rotor blades may catch a motorist’s eye, they also could be ...

This summary examines the evolving field of energy harvesting from wind and vortex-induced vibrations (VIV), a branch of research that transforms ambient aerodynamic forces into usable electrical ...

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% ...
