  • Abstract
    This current article shows a procedure to improve wind turbines for kinetic energy conversion in mechanics using a new concentrating design based on moist air phase change. This concentrator presents special interest in the European Atlantic Coast because its weather is mild with a high relative humidity and its winds represent low values for wind turbines applications. Results show a clear possibility of improvement in energy conversion and wind turbine control system.
