DESIGN & PERFORMANCE CALCULATION OF VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE

Wind energy is a sustainable and widely available renewable resource, making it a key solution for clean energygeneration. This project focuses on the design and performance calculation of a Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine(VAWT) to optimize energy extraction from wind. The study involves the selection of an efficient blade profile,rotor configuration, and structural design to enhance aerodynamic performance. Key calculations include tipspeed ratio, power coefficient, torque generation, and energy output estimation based on wind speed variations.Structural analysis is performed to verify the strength and effectiveness The findings seek to provide insightsinto the feasibility of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) for small-scale and urban applications, supportingsustainable energy initiatives. Designing of VAWT is done using SOLIDWORKS software & Calculations areobtained using ANSYS software.
