Towards smart blades for vertical axis wind turbines: different airfoil shapes and tip speed ratios

<p>Future wind turbines will benefit from state-of-the-art technologies that allow them to not only operate efficiently in any environmental condition but also maximise the power output and cut the cost of energy production. Smart technology, based on morphing blades, is one of the promising t...
