Unfortunately, small VAWTs have not been extensively researched, tested, nor simulated. To fill this gap, the DTU\/Heriot-Watt Clinic Team has designed and built an H-Type VAWT which will be used to validate VAWT models in the simulation software HAWC2. By contributing to the literature and research of VAWTs, we are paving the way for future advancements in the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DTU\/Heriot Watt Engineering\/Global\/Climate, 2023\u201324 Liaison(s): Jenni Rinker \u201911, Weng Kean Yew, Mac Gaunaa Advisor(s): Dre Helmns Students(s): Peyton TenEyck (TL-F), [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[708,705,164,186],"tags":[715],"class_list":["post-14046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-climate-2","category-climate","category-engineering","category-global","tag-dtu-heriot-watt"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14046"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14046\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14116,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14046\/revisions\/14116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
