The sophistication of the analytical methods used as the basis of wind turbine design has increased enormously over the last 20 years. Beginning with simple calculations based largely on engineering intuition, the approach to wind turbine design has been transformed to the point where sophisticated

In order to improve the torque performance of the propeller type wind turbine, and to increase the relative rotational speed of the generator, two-staged wind turbines were proposed. The experimental results of a wind tunnel test showed that self-starting characteristics of two-staged co-axial type
The unsung heroes of the wind industw J Most discussions concerning wind energy usually focus on utility-size projects on a megawatt scale and how to get such projects off the ground. Whilst silently whirring away in the background are the millions of small (less than 100kW) and micro-turbines (less
