Global energy demand forms the challenge of selecting a proper power source. The choice is either to continue using traditional fossil fuels, projected to expire in 50–70 years, or to speed up the development of renewables, which could be used considerably longer. Today the advanced choice is the second option. Hence, the new methods and approaches have to be developed, diversified, and/or improved. The paper presents a new MATLAB Simulink simulation model used to estimate the integrated power generated by Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). The material presents a step by step description of the model development. The value of generated power fluctuations is accounted for and verified in accordance with the grid capacity available at the moment. The parameters under analysis are as follows: Efficiency, Cost, and System Response Time.
The benefits are comprehensively analyzed against disadvantages. A special advantage is considered as a combination of two systems, getting high performance and power stability.
