The thesis focuses on the design of a small vertical axis wind turbine rotor with solid wood as a construction material. The aerodynamic analysis is performed implementing a momentum based model on a mathematical computer pro-gram.
A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) is a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located at the base of the turbine. This arrangement allows the generator and gearbox to be located close to the ground, facilitating service and repair.
This work presents the full details of design for vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) and how to find the optimal values of necessary factors. Additionally, the results shed light on the efficiency and performance of the VAWT under different working conditions.
Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is relatively simple to implement in urban areas on ground or/and building-roofs, the development of appropriate design of VAWT will open new opportunities for the large-scale acceptance of these machines.
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.
In response, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have garnered significant recognition in recent years, leading to increased development and widespread implementation across the globe. A VAWT is a type of wind turbine (WT) known for its compact design, ease of maintenance, and competence in utilizing wind from multiple directions, making it ...
This report created by MUN VAWT Design highlights the design of a Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) for application in remote communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. The goal is for this VAWT to produce enough energy to provide substantial reduction in fuel consumption by diesel generators in these communities.
During the development of the vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) and vertical axis tidal current turbine (VATCT) technology, many new challenges have arisen in the structural and aero/hydrodynamic design and normal operation process. ... 2017 Chapter 10 - Vertical axis wind turbines: farm and turbine design.

A Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine was designed with hollowed out, hook shaped airfoil blades connected to a drive shaft via T-slot aluminum extrusions. This turbine was designed for wind conditions in rural Alaska with 60 mile per hour gale force winds considered as a worst case scenario.
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) represent a unique form of power-generating technology. Historically, they have been relegated to fulfilling a small niche market in commercially available wind turbines due to their “yaw-less” design.
