Optimization of a Vertically Mounted Dual Wind Turbine

Energy collected from renewable resources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale is called renewable energy. One of the most reliable sources of renewable energy is the wind energy. Using wind to produce energy has less environmental impacts than other energy sources. In other words, wind turbines do not produce emission that can pollute the air and water. Also, they do not need water for cooling and are more sustainable than other renewable energy forms such as solar energy. In the current proposal, it is planned to develop and validate the design of a new vertically mount wind turbine. This will be achieved using Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations followed by an experimental wind tunnel or on-site validation.
