Author: David Malcolm and Olamide Ajala-InyangPublication: Journal of PhysicsYear Published: 2024 Abstract. This paper describes a project for predicting and measuring the structural response of a 70 kW vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT), while offering insights for optimizing efficiency and ensuring longevity. We employ the traditional frequency response approach and model the turbine behavior using…
