The dynamic analysis has been adopted for the calculation of the low-order natural frequency and harmonic response data of the steel tower of vertical axis wind turbine, as well as the dynamic relation between the wind turbine and the tower. When the wheel rotates at 160rpm, the harmonic load has a very serious destructive damage to the tower. In order to avoid the system failure caused by the system resonance in the engineering design, some optimizations have been taken on satisfying the security and reliability of the tower. This study provides the scientific basis for the dynamic design and the optimization. The conclusion shows that the most effective method of raising the natural frequency is to reduce the weight of the structure when the material and the structural style are determined. As a result, the difference between harmonic response and resonance frequency of the structure rises to 21.3% from 0.3% after reducing the weight of the tower by 21.3%.

According to the characteristics of the vertical axis wind turbine, research about the mechanical analysis and inherent frequency in design of the small vertical axis wind generator pole is complete, and simulation on the influence of the structure forms and pole wall thickness on natural frequency has been done. The results can help solve the problem such as resonance between the wind turbine pole and the rotating turbine.

Vertical axis wind turbine technology has been applied last years, very long after horizontal axis wind turbine technology. Aerodynamic problems of vertical axis wind machines are discussible. An important problem is the determination of the incidence law in the interaction between wind and rotor blades. The focus of the work is to establish equations of the incidence depending on the blade azimuth, and to solve them. From these results, aerodynamic torques and power can be calculated. The incidence angle is a parameter of velocity triangle, and both the factors depend not only on the blade azimuth but also on the ratio of rotational speed and horizontal speed. The built computational program allows theoretically selecting the relationship of geometric parameters of wind turbine in accordance with requirements on power, wind speed and installation conditions.
