Abstract
Wind turbine is a kind of rotating machinery. Although the horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) is the most popular wind turbine, the vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with the main advantages of smart design, novel structure, and wind direction independence receives more and more attention in small-scale wind power market. The straight-bladed VAWT (SB-VAWT) is one of the most researched and studied VAWTs. In this chapter, the historical development of the SB-VAWT will be briefly reviewed firstly. Then the aerodynamic models for the turbine design and performance analysis will be introduced. Finally, the types of traditional and new SB-VAWT and their characteristics and main utilizations will be introduced.
期刊介绍：
This comprehensive journal provides the latest information on rotating machines and machine elements. This technology has become essential to many industrial processes, including gas-, steam-, water-, or wind-driven turbines at power generation systems, and in food processing, automobile and airplane engines, heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, and chemical or petroleum refining. In spite of the importance of rotating machinery and the huge financial resources involved in the industry, only a few publications distribute research and development information on the prime movers. This journal is the first source to combine the technology, as it applies to all of these specialties, previously scattered throughout literature.
