An interactive tool to predict VAWT performance using streamtube models
Mathematical models have been developed to predict the performance of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) since the early 1970s. Each of these models was studied by many researchers through the late 1980s, and have been successful in predicting VAWT ...

Validation of the structural response of a 70kW VAWT
Abstract This paper describes a project for predicting and measuring the structural response of a 70 kW vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT), while offering insights for optimizing efficiency and ensuring longevity. We employ the traditional frequency response approach and model the turbine behavior using its stationary modal shapes ...
