Wind lens is a new type of wind power system consisting of a simple brimmed ring structure that surrounds the rotor causing greater wind to pass through the turbine. As a consequence, the

As the normal wind turbine does, the wind lens harnesses the energy of the wind but has a few modifications in order to increase efficiency as well as decrease the impact on the environment.

A wind lens works like a ducted fan on an aircraft - it encircles the wind turbine, and speeds air up while protecting the blades from foreign object damage. Because of this, wind turbine efficiency can be

It was proved that a flanged diffuser adding around the rotor of the wind turbine, known as the wind lens, was able to increase the wind speed at the rotor significantly, and increase the power output of the

In the current study, particle image velocimetry (PIV) was performed in the wake of three different pairs of wind lens profiles and revealed an inherent bias in the wake properties at close

The wind lens creates an area of lower pressure behind the turbine thereby inducing a suction of wind through the turbine which increases the effective wind speed.
