An H-rotor vertical axis wind turbine (VAWTs) can operate independently in any wind direction, making it aerodynamically efficient and suitable to harness wind energy in low wind speed areas. The aerodynamic efficiency of VAWTs is highly dependent on the blade geometry, especially the blade tip. Tip...
