Designing and Modelling of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine with a New Wing Structure and Investigation of Electricity Production

Keywords: Wind turbine, vertical axis, wing, electricity production

Abstract

As a result of increasing needs and increasing production capacities, the need for energy has increased, and energy supply has become difficult due to demand intensity. The use of limited energy stored in the ground layers causes many environmental problems and the negative effects on the cycle of nature increase day by day, increasing the interest of the authorities in renewable energy sources. The direction of this interest is in the direction of energy sources that are easy to use, mature in technology, and developing the fastest. Countries direct their investments to their own energy resources that can be found continuously and that do not have the cost of raw materials. Countries prefer wind energy for reasons such as reducing imports in energy, being environmentally friendly, and easy and fast facility installation. In this study, wind energy, which is one of the alternative energy sources, and wind turbines that will enable us to use wind energy like electricity or mechanical energy are examined. The blade model of the vertical axis wind turbines, whose prototype production is planned, was designed and modeled and the turbine electricity generation was examined.
