Coordinating overlap of low pressure zones in adjacent turbines

A system for coordinating rotation of adjacent turbines, the system comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• receive first rotational orientation information from a first fluid turbine having at least one first open concave surface with at least one corresponding first convex surface;
• receive second rotational orientation information from a second fluid turbine having at least one second open concave surface with at least one corresponding second convex surface;
• receive fluid flow direction information indicating a direction of fluid flow relative to the first fluid turbine and the second fluid turbine;
• calculate at least one rotational speed adjustment for at least one of the first fluid turbine and the second fluid turbine, to cause, at instantaneous times, the first open concave surface, the first convex surface, the second open concave surface, and the second convex surface to be simultaneously transverse to the direction of fluid flow;
• output at least one control signal embodying the rotational speed adjustment to thereby regulate rotation of at least one of the first fluid turbine and the second fluid turbine such that at the instantaneous times, the first open concave surface, the first convex surface, the second open concave surface, and the second convex surface are transverse to the direction of fluid flow;
• and
• adjust the rotation speed of at least one of the first fluid turbine and the second fluid turbine based on the control signal by performing at least one of partially engaging a braking system, partially releasing the braking system, or controlling an amount of electrical energy for diversion to an associated load.
