Darrieus vertical axis wind turbines: methodology to study the self-start capabilities considering symmetric and asymmetric airfoils

The rapid growth of wind power generation and the need for a smarter grid with decentralized energy generation has increased the interest in vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT), especially for the urban areas. For the urban areas the VAWT offer several advantages over the horizontal ones, so their ac...
