Aerodynamic modelling of straight bladed vertical axis wind turbine model is designed. Apart from this a practical model is designed and tested in wind tunnels to test its feasibility. The analyzed experimental results evaluated the characteristics parameters of VAWT. Wind tunnel test results showed the acceptable performance. However future work should be done on selecting a high quality and lighter weight material for designing. This would help in achieving good cut in speeds. Apart from this the performance of the wind turbine can be evaluated by modelling and testing
with different type of airfoils.
