Abstract: The importance of wind energy has increased at a rapid pace in the last years. As a result, increasing efforts are taken to improve the efficiency and extend the applicability of wind turbines to all suitable locations. Although HAWTs (horizontal axis wind turbines) are clearly the most well-spread, VAWTs (vertical axis wind turbines) show several advantages. In this category, the H-Darrieus configuration is particularly popular.
