World of today is facing the problem of power crisis, because most of the power generation units are running on the conventional resources which are depleting day by day. Therefore, the need of alternative resources is the prime necessity of the hour. Many experiments and studies have been conducted that highlights the benefits of VAWT and its better performance over HAWTs. This paper presents a review of various designs and performances delivered by different types of VAWTs. Major designs that are in question in the presented paper are Savonius-type and Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbine. The paper aims at comparing various designs along with their merits and demerits and parameters of various experimented VAWT. The objective of this study is to derive an optimum design that can deliver the maximum efficiency and power output within the given set of parameters like blade angle, number of blades, aerofoil shapes, tip speed ratios, and wind velocity.
