Wind conditions are referred to as the state or features of the movement of the air. Uneven heating of the Earth's surface results in changes in air pressure which in turn causes wind. Wind is created as air travels from high pressure to low pressure. The researchers found that Paddaya, Aparri, Cagayan in which the wind is prevalent in a year. Those who are wanting to use renewable energy systems like Wind Turbines for power generation that want to be provided with minimal information which type of wind turbines (Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine and Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine) to use due to limited information about wind energy potential. This leads the researcher to comparatively study this renewable under different parameters for wind particularly wind speed in different elevations (6m,7m, 8m, 9m, 10m). To compare the performances of Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine and Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine, the researchers conducted 16 days of data gathering at different altitudes to determine the total potential output of each turbine at a certain altitude through simulation. The study showed that wind speed: 6 meters altitude recorded at 326.78 meter per minute, 7 meters altitude recorded at 334.68 meter per minute, 8 meters altitude recorded at 339.46 meter per minute, 9 meters altitude recorded at 345.20 meter per minute, 10 meters altitude recorded at 353.12 meter per minute. The study concludes that at 10 meter altitude had the highest recorded wind speed, resulting in higher potential power output of both turbines. Using the same wattage of both wind turbines, considering the same location at various altitudes, the study shows that the horizontal-axis wind turbine is more favorable compared to vertical-axis wind turbines in Paddaya, Aparri.
