Even within vertical-axis wind research, results cannot be transferred to GeoWind when blade geometry and site conditions differ. The summaries below describe each source's topic.
PAPER · VERTICAL-AXIS WIND · 2020Experimental Study of the Performance of a Novel Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine
James Agbormbai · Weidong Zhu · Applied Sciences 10(8), 2902
Compares estimated aerodynamic power with actual electrical generation from a different vertical-axis prototype across wind speeds. Measured electrical output was lower than the aerodynamic estimate.
