To meet economic levels of power generation, the wind turbine designer is being forced towards compliant designs. As a consequence of this fact, more emphasis is being placed on both aeroelastic and dynamic analyses in the design phase of producing a new product. Since a wind turbine blade is highly dynamically loaded, it requires intensive investigations before being put into production to ensure both safety and reliability. This paper is devoted towards the investigation of the aerodynamics and stability of a Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine.
