Assessment of the small‐capacity straight‐bladed VAWT for sustainable development of Canada

Canada has a huge wind power potential of more than 28,000 MW, which represents a significant environmentally benign sustainable energy source. A small-capacity (below 10kW) straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine can compete with conventional sources in niche markets. It converts wind energy to...
