Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT)
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT)
are a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set
vertically and the main components are located at the base of the
turbine. They have their main rotor shaft arranged vertically. The main
advantage of this arrangement is that the wind turbine does not need to
be pointed into the wind. This is an advantage on sites where the wind
direction is highly variable or has turbulent winds.
