Author: Marianne Dupont, Pitance Denis, Joanna Kluczewska-Bordier, Alexandre Immas, Paul DeglairePublication: WindEurope Conference, At AmsterdamYear Published: 2017 NENUPHAR, in collaboration with IRT Jules Verne and ECN (Ecole Centrale de Nantes) has performed extensive testing in a large wind tunnel (CSTB, Nantes) of a scaled-model of a two-bladed VAWT in the frame of the “MOQUA” project.…
Author: Nicolas Parneix, Rosalie Fuchs, Alexandre Immas, Frederic Silvert, Paul DeglairePublication: EWEAYear Published: 2016 Improving the performance of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) is key to make VAWTs commercially successful. Scientists have investigated several interesting concepts for that purpose: increasing the swept area, especially to limit the losses due to 3D effects, or using flap…
Author: Raphael ConeuPublication: KTHYear Published: 2017 This thesis presents the analysis of the data measured during the test campaign of a vertical axis wind turbine prototype developed by the company Nenuphar Wind in France. Three studies are presented: the study of the loads measured during the test campaign, the study of the vibrations, and the…

Author: Ian Brownstein, Nathaniel Wei and John DabiriPublication: EnergiesYear Published: 2019 This study examined three-dimensional, volumetric mean velocity fields and corresponding performance measurements for an isolated vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) and for co- and counter-rotating pairs of VAWTs with varying incident wind direction and turbine spacings. The purpose was to identify turbine configurations and flow…
