Application of vertical-axis wind turbines for environmet-riendly high-rise buildings power supply

The climate changes and depletion of natural resources within the recent decades have given a rise to an interest in sustainable power supply development, wind and solar energy in particular. According to IEA forecasts, the share of the wind power in global power production will have risen from 7% in 2022 to 15% in 2030. Despite the preveilance of the fossil fuels, the use of the wind power in architecture is important for the carbon emission reduction. Integration of the wind power plants requires an analysis of wind conditions, design, and compliance with the norms. The vertical-axis wind turbines applicable for use in the urban environment are efficient at the low wind speed, they require minimum maintenance and are capable of supplying power to the residential houses. The researches demonstrate that the vertical-axis turbines are more appropriate for installation at the top storeys of the buildings where they are resistant to changes of wind directions and are safe to operate. Contemporary wind power technologies are of big importance in creating environment-friendly and energy-efficient buildings by promoting the saving of resources and reduction of greenhouse gases emission. this article dwells upon the integration of low-power wind plants into the architecture of the high-rise buildings.
