Horizontal Wind Turbine

A horizontal wind turbine is a type of wind turbine in which the axis of rotation of the rotor is parallel to the ground. This is in contrast to a vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT), where the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the ground. Horizontal-axis wind turbines are the most commonly used type of wind turbine and are characterized by their familiar, three-bladed design. They can be further classified into two types: upwind and downwind turbines, depending on the direction of the wind in relation to the rotor. Horizontal-axis wind turbines are typically larger than vertical-axis wind turbines and are used in wind farms and utility-scale wind energy systems.
