I'm interested in micro-scale power generation from intermittent sources, so the other day I came across a paper [0] which discusses capturing the energy in gusts more efficiently: drive the turbine as if it were a motor when you detect a gust to accelerate the blades past stall. Very clever! Another comment below [1] also prompted my reply, if they do use the Wells Turbine, this is even more relevant.
