Abstract: Vertical Axis Wind Turbine(VAWT) is used to generating electric power. This paper studies modal analysis of savonius vertical axis wind turbine systems. The efficiency of the wind turbine depends on the material, shape and angle of the blade. So material plays important role in the design of wind turbine. In this paper, Stainless Steel material has been used to design wind blades of 1000 mm height and 500 mm chord length with 4 different arc radius.
For this purpose, CAD modeling software Solid Works is used to model wind blade and modal analysis of the Stainless Steel blade was done by using ANSYS. Modal analysis is used to determine the response of structure for dynamic loading. It is used to determine the natural frequency and mode shape of vibration of any structure.
