Подобрени модели на въздушни турбини, повишаващи тяхната ефективност

In the paper, analysis is made of the types of wind turbines used to absorb the wind energy and methods are suggested to enhance their efficiency of converting energy into electricity. The article highlights the advantages and disadvantages of both types of turbines – with horizontal and vertical axis of rotation. The reasons for the higher prevalence of the first type are discussed. The need for further studies to improve the characteristics of the wind turbine with vertical axis of rotation is noted. Special attention is paid to methods of improvement the rate of transformation of power and opportunities for self-starting of wind turbines with a vertical axis of rotation.
