2. Vertical-axis wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical-axis_wind_turbine

   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. VAWTs do not need to be pointed into the ...

3. Darrieus wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrieus_wind_turbine

   Darrieus wind turbine. The Darrieus wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) used to generate electricity from wind energy. The turbine consists of a number of curved aerofoil blades mounted on a rotating shaft or framework. The curvature of the blades allows the blade to be stressed only in tension at high rotating speeds.

4. Quietrevolution wind turbine - Wikipedia

   Quietrevolution wind turbine at the London Olympic Stadium. Quietrevolution (often stylized with lower-case "q": quietrevolution) is a brand of vertical-axis wind turbines owned since 2014 by Darrieus Ltd previously VWT Power Ltd in the United Kingdom. Quietrevolution's helical designs are related to the Gorlov turbine, which evolved from the ...

   Related media on Commons. [edit on Wikidata] Ravenswood Generating Station is a 2,480 megawatt power plant in Long Island City in Queens, New York City. [1] It is owned and operated by LS Power/ Helix Energy Solutions Group. [2] The plant is fueled primarily by fuel oil (no. 6) and natural gas which heats the boilers.

6. Unconventional wind turbines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_wind_turbines

   Counter-rotating wind turbines Light pole wind turbine. Unconventional wind turbines are those that differ significantly from the most common types in use.. As of 2012, the most common type of wind turbine is the three-bladed upwind horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT), where the turbine rotor is at the front of the nacelle and facing the wind upstream of its supporting turbine tower.

7. Savonius wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savonius_wind_turbine

   Savonius wind turbines are a type of vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), used for converting the force of the wind into torque on a rotating shaft. The turbine consists of a number of aerofoils, usually—but not always—vertically mounted on a rotating shaft or framework, either ground stationed or tethered in airborne systems.
