Vertical axis turbines (VATs) are renewable energy devices with blades rotating around a vertical shaft, offering distinct advantages in omnidirectional wind capture, lower noise emissions, and reduced maintenance needs compared to horizontal counterparts. These turbines are ideal for urban environments, mountainous regions, and distributed generation scenarios where wind consistency is variable. Design variations include the Darrieus model (lift-based, efficient at high speeds) and Savonius type (drag-based, effective in low-wind conditions). Contemporary R&D focuses on hybrid designs combining both principles, magnetic levitation bearings to minimize friction losses, and IoT-enabled controllers for smart grid integration. A successful implementation in Tokyo featured VATs installed on skyscrapers, providing auxiliary power for lighting systems and reducing the buildings’ carbon footprint by 15%. Despite Sidite’s primary specialization in solar water heaters, we monitor advancements across renewable sectors.
