Abstract: The Wind energy is an uncertain and discontinuous energy in the time, asking for no primary extraction, it is free and its capture is without serious influence on the climate and doesn't produce none poisonous residues for the atmosphere. The capture of the Wind energy is assured by the wind rotors, and among a big number of variants rotors, those with vertical axis present the advantage of construction simplicity, because they don't require any system of orientation and a simple pylon can serve like support. In this setting, our work consists in a experimental study of a rotor with vertical axis called SAVONIUS and its adaptation to a pumping system using the Wind energy. The experimental study has been achieved in subsonic wind tunnel, after realisation of a model of the SAVONIUS rotor and a special installation of transmission of the energy. The adaptation of the experimental results to a pumping system in the real case, permitted us the determination of the variation of ( Cp) and ( ) according to the speed of wind and the establishment of a range of debits of the pump according to a range of wind speeds chosen by the meteorological evaluations of Batna region .
