Abstract. A gearbox is often used in a wind turbine to increase the rotational speed from a low-speed main shaft to a high-speed shaft connecting with an electrical generator. Gears in wind turbine gearbox are subjected to severe cyclic loading due to variable wind loads that are stochastic in nature. Thus, the failure rate of gearbox system is ...
Quiet and Efficient: The Advantages of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines
1. Lower Noise Levels. One of the key advantages of vertical axis wind turbines is their reduced noise output compared to horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs). HAWTs can produce significant noise due to the high-speed rotation of their blades. In contrast, VAWTs operate at lower rotational speeds, resulting in quieter operation.
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines: A Survey and Bibliography
Although the HAWT was the most popular type of wind turbine the Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) has been recognized as a. machine with competitive economic potential. The present review describes the state of the art of the VAWT. Similar reviews on this subject can be found for example in (40), (60), (64).
A vertical axis turbine is probably safer for birds and bats. This is because a vertical axis turbine is easier to detect for a bird since it does not move in the vertical direction. Furthermore, compared to the horizontal axis turbine, it has lower blade speed which makes it easier to avoid collision. For more information on vertical axis …

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines vs. Horizontal Axis: Which Is Better?
Cons of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines: Lower Efficiency: VAWTs often suffer from lower efficiency rates compared to HAWTs, mainly due to aerodynamic limitations and increased drag on the blades. Limited Scalability: Scaling up VAWTs can be challenging as the structural integrity of the turbine becomes more difficult to maintain with larger sizes.
