A review of state-of-the-art in torque generation and control of floating vertical-axis wind turbines

  • Uwe Schmidt Paulsen (Keynote speaker)

    Activity: Talks and presentations › Conference presentations

    Description

    Large-scale floating vertical axis wind turbines have great potential for offshore applications. This presentation will review recent developments for generating torque and controlling vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) specifically for floating
    applications. The phenomena presented include dynamic stall and pitching of the blades, as well as design of airfoils for VAWT
    applications.
