text: Turbines themselves can be separated into two distinct groups: horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT), and vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT).
text: There are two primary types of wind turbines used in implementation of wind energy systems: horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) and vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs).
text: A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) on the other hand has the rotator shaft sticking straight up into the air, with foils that catch the wind and turn the entire shaft.
text: A vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) is a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind (but not necessarily vertically) while the main components are located at the base of the turbine.
text: Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) do not need a yaw system since their vertical rotors can face the wind from any direction and only their self rotation gives the blades a clear direction of the air flow.
text: A second major unit type is the vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), with blades extending upwards, supported by a rotating framework.
text: The two general types of wind turbines are: the horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) and the vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT).
text: Different types of turbine have completely different optimal TSR values – for example a Darrieus wind turbine is a vertical axis (VAWT) design with aerofoil blades which generate aerodynamic lift and therefore the TSR can be high, but a Savonius wind turbine which is also a VAWT is a drag design
text: Dr. Maurizio Collu of Cranfield University’s Offshore Renewable Energy Center thinks vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are the answer.
