A Review of Urban Wind Energy Research: Aerodynamics and Other Challenges

Urban wind energy research is crucial for the success or failure of wind turbines installed in the built environment. Research in this field is fragmented into various research groups working on different topics in isolation with seemingly few efforts of integrating the various fields. This review aims at highlighting the synergies between the...

Wind Turbines along highways: Feasibility study of the implementation of small scale wind turbines along the Prins Bernardweg Zaandam to Bolswarderbaan highway in the Netherlands

The Netherlands has the goal to have 14% of the total energy production in 2020 generated in a sustainable way. In order to achieve this goal, onshore wind turbines need to have a combined capacity of 6000 MW and the offshore capacity needs to be increased to 4450 MW. The onshore wind industry is however quite saturated. Experts forecast that...
