Vertical axis wind power plant

Abstract The issue of developing technologies using alternative renewable energy sources today is a very urgent task both around the world and in Russia, which is explained by economic, technological, and, most importantly, environmental factors. The climatic and geo-graphical features of our country create all the necessary conditions for the use of such areas as solar energy, small hydro energy, wind energy, etc. But the most promising in terms of energy potential is wind energy, as many regions of our country are located in areas with high average wind speeds. However, there are a number of problems that impede the development of wind energy in Russia, the most important of which is the almost complete absence of wind generators designed and manufactured in our country that could compete with foreign models. The product proposed in the article is an attempt to solve this problem through the use of a new design of a wind wheel and an electric generator, as well as the use of magnetic suspensions.
