Este estudio presenta el análisis de una turbina eólica de eje horizontal que utiliza cilindros en rotación, en lugar de aspas con perfiles alares. El principio de funcionamiento de este generador eólico es el efecto Magnus, ...

The constant human need for electricity, as well as the increasing demand for energy causes the use of finite sources, as oil and coal. The search for alternative energy sources as wind harvesting is the motivation for ...

The lodgment of wind sites is in a visible growing demand not only in Brazil, but all over the world. The wind energy, even though consolidated, still hosts many scientific researches and industrial development in several ...

A model of the power coefficient of a mid-scale Magnus wind turbine using numerical solutions of the Blade Element Momentum Theory and symbolic regression is presented. A direct method is proposed for solving the nonlinear ...

This work deals with an unconventional wind energy conversion system, in which the wind turbine has rotating cylinders rather than traditional blades. These cylinders can be driven by a brushless DC motor. The turbine ...

Concern about the depletion of energy sources from fossil sources combined with the environmental impacts caused by the consumption of these fuels, provided that in recent decades, renewable energy sources have been ...

Nowadays, the growing increase in energy demand worldwide intensifies the search for the use of clean and renewable energy sources. Within this scenario, wind energy has been highlighted with one of the most promising. This ...
