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 ...

A new manufacturing technique developed by Concordia researchers could make small wind turbines lighter, less expensive and easier to produce. Using a process known as 4D printing of composites, Ph.D.

The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New research from Oxford Brookes ...

Researchers at Concordia University have developed a new way to make small wind turbines, which could make them lighter, less expensive, and easier to build. Their recent study describes a 4D printing ...

Small, vertical wind turbines could become cheaper and more efficient, thanks to a new manufacturing technique developed by researchers at Concordia. Using a process known as 4D printing of composites ...

Oregon State University researchers are part of a team looking at reducing bird collision risks with wind turbines by painting a single blade of the turbine black. Wind energy has a significant role ...

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% ...
