This vertical axis wind turbine energy converter (VAWTEC) is made up of a number of rotary arms, which arms radiate from a central rotating column, and each radial arm holding two vertically opposed sails. Rotation of the central column drives a master gear, which causes the pinions on the alternators to rotate. The alternators convert wind forces into a direct current (DC) energy. This DC energy is converted into alternating current (AC) by the inverters. This AC output is conditioned and fed into the Public Utility Company (PUC) grid and/or into storage batteries. This VAWTEC is self- orienting into the wind. It will automatically shut itself down should the PUCs grid be shut down. It will automatically re-start itself after the grid has been restored to service. It contains a governing system to regulate the maximum speed in order to avoid self-destruction.
