Horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines (HAWTs and VAWTs) are two main kinds of wind turbine, which are the most popular way to receive energy from wind. By comparison, VAWTs have a number of advantages, but it is also complex in aerodynamics that research is needed. A code is developed based on Double multiple stream-tube and corrections of dynamic stall for Darrieus VAWTs. It is capable of estimating the output power versus different operating condition. The code is also validated with experimental data of many SANDIA Darrieus VAWT turbines.
