Variable Speed Wind Turbine

A **Variable Speed Wind Turbine** is an advanced type of wind turbine engineered to operate efficiently at a range of wind speeds by varying its rotational speed. Unlike traditional fixed-speed wind turbines, which are constrained to operate at a single speed, variable speed turbines can adjust...

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT)

A **Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT)** is a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set vertically, as opposed to the more common horizontal axis design. This distinctive feature allows the turbine to capture wind from any direction, making it highly versatile and ideal for urban...

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

**Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)** are a class of chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature due to their high vapor pressure. These compounds are found in a wide array of products, including paints, varnishes, solvents, and cleaning supplies. The emissions from these products can...
