3.1. External Electricity Feed-In
The use of a generator with external electricity feed-in helps the rotor to start rotating.
This is commonly used in the egg shaped Darrieus VAWT. A problem arises here when the
wind turbines are disconnected from the grid and do not have an external electricity
source.
3.2. Guide-Vanes
The use of a guide-vane [27] may prevent the drag effect on the blades moving in the
upwind zone of the wind turbine, optimizing the wind flow in the downwind zone to
maximize the lift forces on the blades. The guide-vanes increase the turbine solidity,
leading to higher forces to be exerted in the pole. However, the use of guide-vanes implies
that more material and components are required, increasing the VAWT price and reducing
its sustainability.
