Abstract

This paper gives an overview of a vertical axis wind turbine. With the rising need for electricity in today's society, the importance of its massive production has also increased. Electricity is now produced by burning fossil fuels, but this practice is soon to run out, creating a dire need for the production of electricity from renewable sources of energy attempt's primary goal is to generate power utilising the wind force. This is one way to generate electricity. The blade is forced by the wind, then the blade starts to rotate and the rotational energy or mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy this is how we can create electricity. In this attempt, vertical axis wind is described, as is the turbine and its significance in the creation of energy. This effort provides a quick description of the vertical axis wind design considerations. A wind turbine is designed to operate or start up at extremely low wind speeds. The model has been created and developed. The goal is to create a vertical axis wind turbine that may be placed in rural locations where power outages are the main issue. The VAWT was designed to function at wind speeds as low as 3 7 m/s. Trial results demonstrate that as speed increases, there is an increase in voltage, which suggests a change in wattage at various speeds. This means that there is a higher rpm during strong winds. The turbine met all requirements, including having an efficiency of more than 80%.
