摘要：

Wind machines convert kinetic energy of the wind into usable form of mechanical energy or electrical energy. The Savonius rotor is a vertical axis wind machine which is simple in design. High starting torque characteristics make it suitable for standalone power generation as well as water pumping applications. This paper reviews the literature on the performance characteristics of the Savonius rotor. Multi-bladed rotor, multistage rotor, shape of the blade, use of deflecting plate, guide vanes and nozzle augmentation are several ways to enhance the performance characteristics. This review would help an engineer in building an improved Savonius rotor for a given application.
