Published purpose

Blade-Vortex Interaction (BVI) is a well-studied phenomenon in Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) which can cause significant reduction in power generation capacity of the turbine. This proposal suggests a solution that has the potential to mitigate this adverse effect and increase the performance of the turbine significantly.
