Design and Analysis of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
I. Introduction Energy is the most vital need in today''s world. Wind Energy is used to drive the wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electric power. Wind power, as an
Subject Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are receiving more and more attention as they involve simple design, cope better with turbulence, and are insensitive to wind direction, which has a huge impact on their cost since a yaw mechanism is not needed. However, VAWTs still suffer from low conversion efficiency.
It highlights the main aspects involved in performance and stability enhancement of vertical axis wind turbines such as objective functions, design constraints, airfoil dynamics, models, flow control, and optimization techniques. The results of various mitigation approaches are critically analysed, and the most effective techniques are identified.
Wind energy is one of the most reliable, affordable, efficient, and readily available renewable sources for residential and industrial use. In response, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have garnered significant recognition in recent years, leading to increased development and widespread implementation across the globe.
Conclusions In this study, a comprehensive review of the recent developments and progress re- garding the performance improvement of vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) has been performed. The review has covered all types of approaches typically used to enhance the performance of VAWTs.
