Publication: Wind Harvest InternationalYear Published: 2023 Wind Harvest analyzed the Tehachapi wind resource area using publicly available location information and UL’s Windnavigator. We found that the area could add 5,700 MWs of Wind Harvester type turbines to the existing 3,263 MWs of propeller-type turbines currently installed in Kern County. Based on the mid-level wind speeds…
Publication: Wind Harvest InternationalYear Published: 2023 Wind Harvest analyzed the Solano Wind Resource Area using publicly available location information and UL’s Windnavigator. The report concluded that the area could add 4,989 MWs of Wind Harvester type turbines to the existing 1,021 MWs of propeller-type turbines currently installed. Based on the mid-level wind speeds in the zone, this level…
Publication: The Next GenerationYear Published: 2023 A new study by Wind Harvest, a company that is building a novel type of short, utility-scale turbine, has found that mid-level wind turbines could almost quadruple the energy output in the notoriously windy San Gorgonio Pass Wind Resource Area. These turbines would provide enough energy to power 1…
Publication: Wind Harvest InternationalYear Published: 2023 Wind Harvest analyzed the San Gorgonio Pass Wind Resource Area using publicly available location information and UL’s Windnavigator. We found that the area could add 3,136 MWs of Wind Harvester type turbines to the existing 682 MWs of propeller-type turbines currently installed. Based on the mid-level wind speeds in the zone, this…
Author: Limin Kuang, Jie Su, Yaoran Chen, Zhaolong Han, Dai Zhou, Yongsheng Zhao, Zhiyu Jiang, Yan BaoPublication: Energy Science & EngineeringYear Published: 2019 With the development of urbanization and the application of renewable energy, wind turbine is becoming an important approach for wind energy reservation and utilization. This study provides a numerical investigation on understanding…
Author: Mahdi Abkar and John DabiriPublication: Journal of TurbulenceYear Published: 2017 Large eddy simulation (LES) is coupled with a turbine model to study the structure of the wake behind a vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT). In the simulations, a tuning-free anisotropic minimum dissipation model is used to parameterise the subfilter stress tensor, while the turbine-induced forces…
Author: Victor Mendoza, Anders GoudePublication: J. Physics: Conference SeriesYear Published: 2017 The current trend of the wind energy industry aims for large scale turbines installed in wind farms. This brings a renewed interest in vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) since they have several advantages over the traditional Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) for mitigating the…
Author: Andre Chang, Peter Dewey, Antony Jameson, Chunlei Liang, Alexander SmitsPublication: Stanford UniversityYear Published: 2011 The flow over a pair of counter-rotating cylinders is investigated numerically and experimentally. It is demonstrated that it is possible to suppress unsteady vortex shedding for gap sizes from one to five cylinder diameters, at Reynolds numbers from 100 to…
