A Brief Review on Design and Performance Study of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Blades

The use of wind power for energy production, renewable energy is one of the oldest methods for tapping. Socio-economic development and use of renewable energy is an essential component of economic development. Tidal energy, wind energy, etc., such as abundant renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on fossil fuels can help. With increased concern for environment now days led to the research for more eco-friendly sources of energy and with this considerations wind energy can be deliberated as a feasible option in this regard. Different types of wind turbines such as horizontal axis wind turbines and vertical axis wind turbines are mostly used for energy extraction. Horizontal axis mainly used in huge scale applications and thus its implementation is generally a concern due to enormous instalment setup and initial budget; whereas vertical axis wind turbines offer promising solution for medium sized residential spaces or smaller ruler areas. Energy production from wind turbines will certainly be affected by geometry of bade it is using and its orientation in turbine. For effective and operational use of turbine both parameters must be optimally set and determined. This review emphases on several stages for design and development of improved vertical axis wind turbine which will studies various factors such as wind energy scenario, different accessible energy extraction techniques, design and performance analysis of vertical axis wind turbines. It will comprise Optimization of design parameters of vertical axis turbine blades in view of different parameters such as geometry orientation in assembly.
