Abstract
The main objective of this study is to perform numerical simulations to test the performance of a vertical axis wind turbine in the low wind speed state of the east coast of Uzbekistan as indicated elsewhere with an average annual wind at a cut-off wind speed of 5 m/s. The aim is to develop wind energy technologies that can maximize the power extracted from the turbine in low wind conditions and to accelerate the penetration of wind energy technologies in Uzbekistan. The main problem of mathematical modeling of vertical axis wind turbines within the framework of the ANSYS Fluent software package is the choice of a turbulence model.
