Aerodynamic Modeling And Analysis of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

Mechanical Engineering

It is well known that we rely on the nonrenewable resources such as fossil fuels, oils, natural gas, etc which will certainly get exhausted some day. So keeping these items into thought we tend to thought of generating power exploitation non-conventional sources that is extravagantly accessible naturally and has zero threat for extinction. Among the various non-convention methods for generation of electric power, wind has found its place to be efficient. Wind Energy being renewable resource of energy has got much attention for power generation, nowadays. Having a nature of abundance in contrast to employment of resources in typical strategies satisfies the growing desires. Wind energy depends upon natural terrains which have wind potential, though these terrains don't seem to be found even in nature everyplace, but those which have, are the places that can be harnessed for high potential power generation. Taking into consideration the geographical attributes of our region, the vertical axis windmill are economical for power generation. The basic reason for using VAWT is that, it does not consider the wind direction and operates at low wind speed.
