Abstract: A vertical axis wind turbine structure is provided that comprises an upstanding structure having a plurality of levels, each level supporting a vertical axis wind turbine assembly therein. Each vertical axis wind turbine assembly drives a generator that develops electrical power. The wind turbine assemblies further comprise a plurality of rotor arms, each supporting a louvered vane assembly thereon. The louvered vane assemblies have louvered vanes supported within a frame that adjust based on the wind front direction. Finally, the outer surface of each of level comprises a rotatable outer surface, whereby an opening through the outer surface allows air flow into the interior thereof and across the louvered vane assemblies. The outer surface of the structure and the louvered vane assemblies adjust based on wind front direction. Overall, the present invention provides a new wind turbine construction that is efficient, modular, and reactive to wind conditions.
