Summary Reader Response Draft 3
According to the article “ Possible to dramatically increase power density in wind farms with SeaTwirl’s vertical axis turbines'' published on Seatwirl (Johansson, 2022), it states that in wind farm designs, Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) outperformed Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) due to their superior power density, quicker wake recovery, and increased turbulence generation. SeaTwirl enlisted Dr. Pablo Ouro from the University of Manchester to conduct research on optimal wind farm configurations, featuring 25 turbines of 10 MW each arranged in five rows. They observe that the slender VAWTs, taller with a smaller diameter, achieved a remarkable power density of nearly 19 MW/km2, surpassing the 2.65 MW/km2 of typical HAWT setups. The offshore VAWT has wind blades attached to the turbine body, an energy converter, a buoyant turbine body consisting of a buoyancy-providing and ballast portion, and a water movement based braking arrangement (Ehrnberg, 2020).

Thanks very much, Keris, for your effort. I realize that in the pitch you need to convey lots of info quickly, but the pace here may be fast.
