Abstract: Nowadays, wind energy is one of the most economical energy sources with a well-known technology. Today, wind energy is mainly use to generate electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy into mechanical or electric power. In addition, wind turbine power production depends on the interaction between the rotor and the wind. The aerodynamic forces generated by wind determine the major aspects of the wind turbine performance, for example, power output and load. The aim of this research is to determine the drag force, torque and mechanical power for different type of vertical wind turbine blades which are an airfoil blade, C-section blade and single big C-section blade in a two-dimensional model and this mechanical power are transmitted to the generator to produce electricity for domestic use in North-Cyprus. In particular, drag force and torque acting on each types of blade was taken at an airflow speed of 4 m/sec and an angular velocity of 13.056 rad/sec according to statistical meteorological. These works allow researcher to make a comparison between aerodynamic characteristics and different types of the blades. The objective of this research in using different types of wind turbines is to maximize the amount of electrical power which is produced by the generator.
