Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a vertical wind turbine with antenna structure in microgird environment. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to calculate the basic aerodynamic performance. The pressure resulted from CFD analysis has been mapped on the surface of wind turbine as load condition and the Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) was applied. The stability of the wind turbine was confirmed by checking the deformation and internal stress of wind turbine by wind force.
