In modern period, research and development activities in the field of renewable energy, especially wind and solar, have been considerably increased, due to the worldwide energy crisis and high global emission. The horizontal axis wind turbine cannot be used for household purpose. So, Savonius vertical axis wind turbine can be better option as it operate in low wind condition also. The choice for this model is to showcase its efficiency in varying wind conditions as compared to the existing material and contribute to its steady growing popularity for the purpose of mass utilization in the near future as a reliable source of power generation.. The purpose of this paper is to present model and study of composite turbine blade using the compound fabric glass fiber to compare its result with existing steel materials. Three dimensional Modeling is done by SOLID WORKS and Finite Element Analysis is carried out by using ANSYS work bench software.
