A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind into electrical power. Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is one type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set vertically and it can capture wind from any direction. The aim of this work is to develop a theoretical model f...
