Performance Analysis of a Large Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine in Gusty Wind Conditions
Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) could be a good alternative to horizontal axis turbines for offshore applications. However, the variability of the aerodynamic forces with the blade azimuthal position subjects the blade to fatigue stresses and generates typical power periodicity. Extreme wind conditions, such as gus...

A parameter optimisation design method for counter-rotating vertical axis wind turbines based on CFD and machine learning
A parametric model of CRVAWT is established, a machine learning model is constructed to establish the mapping relationship between design parameters and CRVAWT power generation performance, and the particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm is used for optimisation to obtain the optimal parameter combination.
