Wind energy witnessed tremendous growth in the past decade and emerged as the most
sought renewable energy source after solar energy. Though the Horizontal Axis Wind …

The vertical axis wind turbines are simple in construction, self-starting, inexpensive and can
accept wind from any direction without orientation. A combined Savonius–Darrieus type …

With recent surge in fossil fuel prices and demands for renewable energy sources, vertical
axis wind turbine (VAWT) technologies have emerged out as one of the prime growing …

Energy is an essential ingredient for socio-economic development and economic growth of
a country. Energy is available in two different forms, fast depleting or non-renewable (coal …

Small wind turbines as energy saving devices can be applied in many fields and are in great
demand. There are two common types of rotors in wind turbines. Savonius rotors require a …

H-Darrieus wind turbines are gaining popularity in the wind energy market, particularly as
