CHAPTER 8 Development and analysis of vertical - axis wind turbines Paul Cooper School of Mechanical, Materials and Mechatronic Engineering, University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia. vertical - axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have been demonstrated to be effective devices for extracting useful energy from the wind . VAWTs have been used to generate mechanical and electrical energy at a range of scales, from small-scale domestic applications through to large-scale electricity production for utilities. This CHAPTER summarises the Development of the main types of VAWT, including the Savonius, Darrieus and Giromill designs. A summary of the multiple-streamtube analysis of VAWTs is also provided to illustrate how the complex aerodynamics of these devices may be analysed using relatively straightforward techniques. Results from a double-multiple-streamtube analysis are used to illustrate the details of the performance of VAWTs in terms of turbine blade loads and rotor power output as a function of fundamental parameters such as tip speed ratio.
