The Wind Energy Research Division of Sandia National Laboratories has been funded by the Wind/Ocean Technology Division of the Department of Energy (DOE) to design and build a 34-meter diameter Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) incorporating the results of recent research in VAWT aerodynamics and structural dynamics. The design and fabrication of all turbine parts has been completed, and construction of the turbine is now nearing completion, with preliminary testing underway. Turbine design and construction are reviewed and the major components of the system are summarized in this paper. 12 refs., 7 figs.
