The rapid growth of the world’s population and modern urbanization has led to a perceptible increase in energy demand where the world relies heavily on fossil fuels for energy generation. The exploitation of renewable energy as alternative energy is mandatory to ensure sustainability. Amongst, wind energy has become mainstream in renewable energy. In wind energy generation, the performance of a wind turbine is always a major challenge, especially in intermittent wind conditions.
While wind turbine and wind energy research are increasingly relevant, various innovative ideas on the turbine rotor have been adopted to achieve high wind power output. The turbine efficiency highly relies on the rotor blade design and the wind-wake interactions. Research on wing tip devices, guide vanes, turbine configuration, bionic blade design, etc. has shown substantial improvement in turbine performance.
The purpose of this Research Topic is to collect the latest research results and to facilitate the exchange of innovative ideas in both horizontal and vertical axis wind turbine rotor design among academicians, engineers, scientists, and practitioners. The subject of interest of this Research Topic is on the newly developed advanced techniques for wind turbine rotor design
This Research Topic aims to collect theoretical, experimental and simulation works in wind turbine rotor design. This Research Topic invites Review, Original Research, Mini Review, and Data Report. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to the following;
• Active and passive flow devices
• Advances in wind turbine rotor design
• Computational fluid dynamics analysis
• Innovation in wind turbine blade design
• Interaction of wind turbine array
• Power augmentation device
• Numerical and analytical analysis
• Wind turbine aerodynamics and aeroelasticity
• Wind-wake interaction of turbine rotor
