Vertical axis wind turbine analysis using MATLAB

Abstract

Wind Turbines have become one of the feasible power plants to replaced fossil fuels. Because this plant is affordable cost and did not produce pollutants as an output. Vertical Axis Wind Turbine can be placed at points with high wind intensity such as; toll roads, ships, railroads, airports. The energy produced can be distributed for the civilian house light, the street lights, the fishing boats light, others. The hope is that wind turbines can generate 100 watts of power, so that charging time can be at least 6 hours. But, the average velocity data in the field is worth under 2.85 m/s (minimum wind speed to get 100 watt). Resulting in a turbine charging time more than 6 hours. In this case, The Turbine needed more than one accu as a place to store the energy even the accu take more than 6 hours to be charged.
