Structural Analysis of Large-Scale Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines, Part I: Wind Load Simulation

When compared with horizontal-axis wind turbines, vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have the primary advantages of insensitivity to wind direction and turbulent wind, simple structural configuration, less fatigue loading, and easy maintenance. In recent years, large-scale VAWTs have attracted cons...
