Although individual controllers have been frequently studied across several research fields, the synergistic combination of multiple control strategies is still mostly unexplored. This paper ...

Savonius wind turbine (SWT) optimization via machine learning and optimization techniques has attracted increasing attention; however, most existing studies rely on limited datasets that cover only ...

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...

If you imagine an industrial wind turbine, you likely picture the windmill design, technically known as a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). But the very first wind turbines, which were developed in ...

Researchers have used a genetic learning algorithm to identify optimal pitch profiles for the blades of vertical-axis wind turbines, which despite their high energy potential, have until now been ...
