ABSTRACT
Wind energy became an increasingly important and widespread renewable energy source in the last decades, while it is significant technical development has led to a wide variety with more effectiveness. Magnus wind turbine (MWT) represents one of main application of horizontal wind turbines that are viable in low wind speed regimes and also suitable for the urban areas. Numerous numerical and experimental investigations have been performed to analyse and improve the design and performance of MWT, However, most of these studies revolved around aerodynamic performance of magnus turbine. This paper reviews the application of Magnus effect devices and concepts especially in wind energy that have been investigated by various researchers and concludes with discussions on future challenges in their application.
