Vertical axis wind turbine darrieous type

Abstract

[EN] In a world of increasing energy prices, global warming consequently reducing polar ice caps and economic crisis it is increasingly, ethically important to strive to reduce the reliance for power from non-renewable resources. Wind power is a good candidate for competing with fossil fuels for power generation in Ireland and as such large scale wind turbines are the significant producers of electrical energy, however there is a definite market for small scale wind turbines due to an increasing public awareness of growing energy costs and environmental issues.
