This presentation focuses on the calculation for small vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) for an urban application. The fixed-pitch straight -bladed vertical axis wind turbine (SB-VAWT) is one of the simplest types of wind turbine and accepts wind from any angle (no yaw system). This turbine is useful for moderate wind speeds (3 -6 m/s).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
