Abstract

The global small wind turbine (SWT) market has been on the upswing in the last five years. The main drivers of this growth are the demand-supply gap in energy, increasing fossil fuel prices, improved small wind turbine technology and the diverse application to which it can be put to both ‘grid-tied’ and ‘stand-alone’ system. The market for SWT technology is growing in India also, and may require market drivers like favorable policies, adoption of micro generation technologies, reduced costs etc., to reach a significant level. Savonius wind turbine is generally categorized in a ‘small’ type Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT), specifically which is a Omni-directional for accepting the drag force of wind with good starting characteristics and operates on lower wind speeds which generally produces the power from a few watt to 20 kW.
