Among VAWT, the type of Straight-Bladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (SB-VAWTs) have been investigated further due to simple blade shape and relatively higher power conversion. Aerodynamic design of SB-VAWTs, as the common research hotspot, can be classified into two topics: blade design and modeling method.
