Abstract. Wind and solar energy are two popular alternative energy sources. However, wind turbines are larger and more complex than solar panels. Accordingly, wind turbines are more exposed to environmental factors and therefore more prone to mechanical failures. Our work improves the reliability and efficiency of win…

This study presents a feasibility assessment of hydroelectric energy generation using an inline-pipe Pelton turbine installed on the Akbaş Irrigation Channel in the Denizli region. The design flow rate and turbine operating characteristics were determined using flow-duration curves derived from measured hourly data. T…

In this study, dorsal views of different insect wings are inspired as an airfoil profile.After evaluating their aerodynamic performances with XFOIL panel solver for different Reynolds numbers, each generated airfoil profile is compared with the airfoils having the closest thickness from the NACA four-digit series.Then…

This study experimentally investigates the hydrodynamic optimisation and scaling fidelity of five oscillating water column (OWC) configurations: three single-chamber geometries (Conventional, U-OWC, L-OWC) and two novel dual-chamber hybrids (DCOWC-1 and DCOWC-2). Conducting 792 tests at 1:30 scale under regular waves,…

Increase in temperature due to Climate change reduces the efficiency of Solar Photovoltaic systems. Stress on energy sector is increasing in meeting growing demand across the world. Several passive cooling strategies have been developed to mitigate thermal losses for solar photovoltaic panels. They contribute to unifo…

Abstract Weather‐dependent renewable energy resources are already vulnerable to climate change. High‐resolution regional climate simulations are essential for accurately assessing how climate change may impact wind energy resources, particularly in regions with complex topography. In this study, we dynamically downsca…

This research explores the aerodynamic benefits of incorporating biomimetic design principles into commercial minibus bodies by mimicking the cranial morphology of select aquatic species. Inspired by the pronounced head structures and maneuverability of the hump head wrasse, green hump head parrotfish, and flowerhorn…

The transition toward sustainable energy systems demands electrical generators that are highly efficient, reliable, and durable. Among emerging topologies, Flux-Switching Generators (FSGs) offer considerable potential. Nevertheless, without a systematic design methodology, FSGs may suffer from excessive torque ripple…
