Description

This is a thesis concerned with Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) and researches in Vibration. The Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) compared with Horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) has a lower efficiency. However, the supporting structure of VAWT structure is relatively simple. It is suitable in poor wind conditions. Besides, VAWT also generates lower noise and vibrations. In this study, Finite element method is used to calculate and obtain natural Frequencies of Mechanical vibration
