Why are vertical axis wind turbines not widely popular?
Lack of efficiency and reliability VAWT faces efficiency and reliability challenges compared to HAWT, hindering its popularity. VAWT’s vertical rotor design compensates for HAWT’s wind direction sensitivity. However, VAWT’s complex dynamics and factors like aerodynamic force and torque fluctuation result in lower efficiency (60%-80% of HAWT). Additionally, VAWT‘s complex structure is prone to external factors […]
