Abstract

The theoretical models that have been developed to predict forces acting on lift-type vertical wind turbine blades have been reviewed. These models were categorized into two groups: conservation of momentum-based group and vortex-based group. The comparisons of calculation with experiment between these groups which based on results extracted from published papers have been provided. Finally recommendations have been suggested for models that should be applied for performance predication of lift-type vertical-axis wind turbines VAWTs in Libya.
