Mohd. Anas, Naveen Maorya, Rahul Sharma, Jitendra Pathak

Abstract


The global small wind turbine (SWT) market has been on the upswing in the last five years. The main drivers of this growth are the demand-supply gap in energy, increasing fossil fuel prices, improved small wind turbine technology and the diverse application to which it can be put to both ‘grid-tied’ and ‘stand-alone’ system. The market for SWT technology is growing in India also, and may require market drivers like favorable policies, adoption of micro generation technologies, reduced costs etc., to reach a significant level. Savonius wind turbine is generally categorized in a ‘small’ type Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT), specifically which is a Omni-directional for accepting the drag force of wind with good starting characteristics and operates on lower wind speeds which generally produces the power from a few watt to 20 kW.
