Review of Analysis on Vertical and Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

Article Preview

Abstract:

Wind turbine is a device used to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. Generally, wind turbine could be classified as horizontal axis and vertical axis wind turbine, depending on its axis of rotation. Two major factors affecting wind turbine performance are wind speed and aerodynamic design. While wind speed is depending on the location and weather, aerodynamic design of the wind turbine could be improved and optimized to enhance the wind turbine efficiency. This paper summarized few such design with particular attention on output power analysis as well as analysis tools development, for both type of wind turbine.
