Fast online reinforcement learning control of small lift-driven vertical axis wind turbines with an active programmable four bar linkage mechanism

Small wind turbines and their potential for internet of things applications

“… 139 Variable pitching technology is a focus of research, with some scientists utilizing neural network-based control techniques to actively manipulate pitch angle and increase power output by 25% for each TSR. 140 Several studies 141 , 142 have exemplified the generic development process of active pitch technology. Although some studies have suggested that aspect ratio and solidity affect power performance, other research has indicated that pitch angle has the greatest impact on the outcome.…”
