Popis: This research evaluates two types of vertical axis turbines from both an aerodynamic and economic perspective. The turbines used in this study have straight (H-shaped) and angled (V-shaped) blades, with equivalent dimensional characteristics that are suitable for the climatic conditions and average wind speed distribution in Zahedan city. The aerodynamic evaluation of the turbines was conducted using the semi-analytical DMST method. The results indicate that the V-shaped turbine generates significantly less power than the H-shaped turbine due to the reduction of the effective area of the turbine and the torque produced by its rotor. However, during startup, the V-shaped turbine exhibits about seven times less negative power than the H-shaped turbine, which improves the overall startup process. Economically, the cost of energy production per kWh for a V-shaped turbine is approximately 20% lower than that of an H-shaped one. This makes the V-shaped turbine a more suitable option for urban and small-scale applications.
