Abstract:
- Today most researchers are follows and persuade that the increasing in the source of energy in the form of green or renewable energy is our demand. Therefore, the benefit from the gigantic of electricity production must be shifted towards carbon neutral sources such as wind power in order to mitigate the impacts of raising change regarding environment. This contribution work shows an investigation of the efficiency between horizontal and vertical axis for wind turbine systems that implemented to produce electricity by the wind. The investigation was conducted for the different scales scope wind innovation, as many systems are depend on horizontal axis wind turbine rather than vertical axis wind turbine. Tow types of turbine were selected based on its configuration and through providing sufficient amount of efficiency during operation. After analysis, the efficiency of horizontal axis wind turbine was recorded to be higher than the efficiency extracted from vertical axis wind turbine. The variation in efficiency was recorded to have high percentage about 80% compared with the 55% of the vertical wind turbine. Although, vertical axis wind turbines has more application if it compared with horizontal axis turbine, which the vertical axis turbine works at low speed and benefit from receiving the wind from all direction. Where as the horizontal axis turbine permits to work on different scales and has advantages for different projects.
