Cross-flow turbines, also known as vertical-axis turbines, are attractive for power generation from wind and water currents. Some cross-flow turbine designs optimize unsteady fluid forces and maximize ...

Everyone’s owned a pinwheel at one time or another. I remember riding in the back of my parents’ car, sticking my pinwheel out the window as we traveled down the street. The speed at which the ...

In an RL-based control system, the turbine (or wind farm) controller is realized as an agent that observes the state of the ...

Each year a panel reviews papers nominated from the past two years and selects an article of high significance. The paper, published in 2022, describes the first experimental implementation of Model ...

Blade pitch control systems enhance the consistency of wind turbines' electrical energy output and ensure that rotor speed remains within a safe operating range by constantly adjusting turbine blades ...

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 ...
