Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are promising renewable energy sources in areas experiencing multidirectional wind flow, though extensive aeroelastic validation of VAWTs has not occurred. The DTU/HWU Clinic team worked to increase the power generation capabilities of a previously developed VAWT prototype for Malaysia deployment. This prototype will be used to validate VAWT models on the simulation software HAWC2. By contributing to the literature and research of VAWTs, the team set the stage for advancements in their design and implementation.
