During the operation of a Darrieus type vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT), the blade sections are subjected to different flow velocities and incidences that can be converted to mechanical power with varying efficiency depending on the airfoil. The goal of the present study is to emphasize the advantages and the drawbacks of the use of symmetrical, cambered, and laminar airfoil for a typical Darrieus type VAWT. The NACA 0018, FX63-137 and SNLA 18/50 airfoils were selected for this study.
