Review of different vertical axis wind turbine modeling methods
Wind energy can be used as an inexhaustible option for human consumption. Wind turbines offer a promising solution for off-grid areas. Darrieus turbine is one of the types of turbines that can be more efficient than other types if it is used by knowing its characteristics. The complex dynamic mechanism of the flow around the machine has led to its aerodynamic optimization problems remaining complex. This article reviews the applied methods in modeling vertical axis turbines and implicitly shows the turbine operation by presenting the results of these methods. Knowing these methods is important because each has its advantages and disadvantages and should be selected depending on the purpose of the research. One of the problems with Darrieus turbines is their poor start-up, which has been little researched so far. Finally, a suitable method that can model the start-up is introduced.
