Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Evaluation and Design
web.wpi.eduThere are two main types of wind turbines. The two general categories for wind turbines include vertical axis or horizontal axis wind turbines. The turbines are classified upon how the shaft of the generator is mounted. The horizontal axis wind turbine HAWT was invented before the vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT), which led to its popularity and
