Abstract
The energy harnessed from wind is clean along with being renewable. Over the last few decades, wind energy has undergone a massive growth in terms of interests and development owing to a continuous depletion in the stocks of fossil fuels and a never-ending demand for energy. Due to their omni-directional and simplistic features, vertical-axis wind turbines are gaining popularity amongst the research community. The following study aims at the design considerations for Savonius and Darrieus VAWTs for small-scale applications in roadsides and highways. The results showed a maximum coefficient of performance of 0.43 and 0.45 with operational TSRs up to 0.99 and 3.71 for the Savonius and the Darrieus turbines respectively.
