Vertical axis wind turbine; horizontal axis wind turbine; wind power, efficiency.Abstract
Wind power is one of the main directions of future renewable energy development. Wind turbines can be classified according to their axes. The two major categories are vertical axis wind turbines and horizontal axis wind turbines, both types have their unique characteristics in efficiency, operating principle, and operating environment. Based on the study on structure and power generating mechanism of vertical axis and horizontal axis wind turbines, compare the characteristics and point out the advantages and disadvantages of both types of wind turbines. This research aims to study the use of vertical-axis and horizontal-axis wind turbines, to achieve better efficiency at different working conditions. Compared to other clean energy sources, wind power has the advantages of mature technology, but it still has room for improvement. For example, the blade design on wind turbines can be optimized to increase the efficiency. The prospect of wind power cannot be ignored.
