Abstract

The need for energy is growing and wind is a resource that has seen increased use worldwide in recent years, especially since it allows energy production without major environmental impacts. Vertical axis wind turbines represent a versatile and innovative technology for harnessing wind energy. While they are not yet as commonly used for large-scale wind farms as horizontal-axis turbines, they offer unique advantages in urban environments, low-wind conditions, and specific applications where wind
direction varies. As technology improves, VAWTs may become a more prominent part of the global renewable energy mix.
