Wind turbines are mainly divided into two categories: horizontal axis and vertical axis.

We mainly produce 100W~500KW horizontal axis wind turbines.

We mainly produce 100W~50KW vertical axis wind turbines.

Nowadays the vertical axis wind power market is expanding with the increasing global demand for renewable energy. It is predicted that in the coming years, the vertical axis wind power market will enter a period of rapid development and become an important component of the renewable energy field. However, vertical axis wind power also faces some challenges. For example, how to reasonably designe the height and width of a vertical axis wind turbine to ensure optimal wind energy capture. In addition, the market demand of vertical axis wind power is still relatively small, requiring more investment and research and development to drive its development. 

Building a vertical axis wind turbine platform requires two major aspects, software design and hardware design. In hardware design, it mainly includes the overall structural design of the wind turbines, the selection of component materials, and the size design of each part of the structure. In software design, it mainly includes aerodynamic analysis of vertical axis wind turbines, control strategies for large wind turbines, and development of control software.

The two aspects of software and hardware design are both independent and interconnected, each based on other aspects, and ultimately combined to form a unified system. For the development and utilization of vertical axis wind turbines, not only does it require in-depth research in control strategies, but also the hardware conditions of the fans cannot be ignored. The ultimate goal is to optimize the design of various aspects of the wind turbine under various conditions, so that the wind turbine can better utilize wind energy, ensure that the output power of the wind turbine reaches the highest efficiency, and for the wind turbine itself, increase its service life, facilitate maintenance, and construct and repair the finished product more economically.

Overall, vertical axis wind power is a promising new type of wind power technology. With the continuous progress of technology and increasing market demand, vertical axis wind power is expected to become an important role in the field of renewable energy in the future.

With the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection and the wide application of renewable energy, we believe that many friends have seen wind turbines during their travels. Now let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of vertical axis wind turbines.

First, advantages of vertical axis wind turbines as below:

A, Strong wind resistance. The principle of horizontal rotation and triangular double pivot design makes it less susceptible to wind pressure and can withstand typhoons of 45 meters per second.

B, No auxiliary systems need to be installed. Compared to horizontal axis fans, vertical axis fans have blades that rotate parallel to the ground, allowing wind energy to be obtained from various directions. There is no need to add yaw devices to adjust the direction of wind energy reception like horizontal axis fans.  The overall structure has become simpler, reducing the vibration generated by fan operation to a certain extent and improving its reliability.

Second, disadvantages of vertical axis wind turbines as below:

A, The starting performance index of the vertical axis fan is worse than that of the horizontal axis fan,

B, During the rotation of the blades, negative torque is generated at some positions, resulting in low output efficiency of the fan;

C, Common issues for all wind turbines: vibration resistance, especially for large wind turbines;
