DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF VERTICAL AXIS WIND

TURBINE AS A MICROPOWER GENERATOR

INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVES
Energy surround us in the form of wind. Darius Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) generates electricity Design of low cost of VAWT
using lift effect of wind energy. Power shortage in Pakistan is 7,468 MW. Pakistan has approximately Demonstration of household level utilization
346000 MW wind energy potential and produces 1335 MW using wind energy in 2022. H type VAWT is
suitable in urban areas.
