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…

Over 500 MW of short turbines could be added to the East San Diego County Wind Resource Area

California, Density, East San Diego County Wind Resource Area, H-Type, Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines, North America, San Diego County, Synergy with Tall and Short Turbines, Vertical Axis Wind Turbines, Wind Farms

Publication: Wind Harvest InternationalYear Published: 2023 Wind Harvest analyzed the East San Diego County Wind Resource Area using publicly available location information and UL’s Windnavigator. The report concluded that the area could add 457 MWs of Wind Harvester type turbines to the existing 406 MWs of propeller-type turbines currently installed. Based on the mid-level wind speeds in the…
