Development of Mixed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (MVAWT) for low wind condition

Small-scaled renewable energy generation such as micro-hydro and domestic solar panel has become the recent trend of research in order to achieve sustainable energy generation and to eliminate the reliance of geographical selection and large farm area. As for the case of wind energy, a wind turbine...
