For the purpose of meeting the wind field in urban area, the performances of a newly invented cross-axis wind turbine (CAWT), which consists of the advantages of horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines (HAWTs and VAWTs), was examined in a calibrated open-circuit low speed wind tunnel. Firstly, to...
