Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set vertically and the main components are located at the base of the turbine. This arrangement allows the generator and gearbox to be located close to the ground, facilitating service and repair. VAWTs do not need to be pointed into the wind, which removes the need for wind-sensing and orientation mechanisms. Vertical axis wind turbines offer several potential advantages over the standard horizontal axis wind turbines which are now in common use worldwide.
