In the course of this research the vertical axis wind turbine simulation model has been designed and verified using the MATLAB SIMULINK tool for blade aerodynamic force simulation. The research was based on the study of the real vertical axis wind turbine, which provided the basis for building the mathematical model. The mathematical model is used for simulation of the mechanical model of a one blade force and torque of the wind turbine. The main goal of the research was achieved and the designed model was successfully verified by the published data. The results showed that the simulation system is using correct calculations and the system can be used in future for further system development, for example, for developing the pitch system control strategy. The calculations can be used in simulation of the transient process for a real turbine with many blades over one rotor.
