Vertical-axis wind turbines feature a design where the blades spin around a vertical shaft. This allows them to capture wind from any direction without requiring adjustments. In contrast, horizontal turbines have a more aerodynamic design that demands alignment with the wind direction, achieved through yaw mechanisms.
In recent decades, wind energy has established itself as one of the fastest-growing renewable sources and a key contributor to the global energy matrix . Historically, horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) have dominated large-scale generation due to their technological maturity .
A vertical axis wind mill converts wind into electricity using a rotor that spins around a vertical shaft. Compared to horizontal turbines, this design offers several key advantages: it starts at lower wind speeds, works efficiently in turbulent wind conditions, and doesn't need to face the wind.
The initial development of vertical axis wind turbines occurred during the late 1800s. Early models, such as the Darrieus turbine, were created with the intent to harness wind power for agricultural applications.
The vertical axis wind turbine design integrates straight blades with a triangular dual-support structure. This configuration concentrates the main stress points around the hub, reducing
