DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF VERTICAL WIND TURBINE FOR POWER GENERATION AT HIGHWAY MEDIANS
The main objective is to harvest and recapture the maximum amount of wind energy from theautomobiles running on the highways. In most cities, highways are a faster route for everyday commute andin need of constant lighting makes this an efficient way to produce natural energy. The unused andconsiderable amount of wind is used to drive the vertical wind turbine, which will use the kinetic energy ofthe wind to produce the electrical energy. Increased turbulence levels yield greater fluctuations in wind speedand direction. Unlike traditional horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT), vertical axis wind turbine effectivelycaptures turbulent winds which are typical in urban settings. An effort is made to create a vertical axis windmill of 500W capacity. Our aim is to design the turbine which will capture the maximum of wind in anydirection by placing it at optimum place and height by considering both the cost and safety of the system. Thissystem can be used in huge number to generate the huge amount of useful electrical energy. This energy canbe stored and transferred to nearest rural places where we can fulfill the demand of electricity. The thoughtof design directs us to look into the various aspects such as manufacturing, noise, cost which leads us to ouradditional aim of analyzing the system to overcome the usual technical glitches. The project brief involves thedesign of a small scale wind turbine that can be easily mass produced and fitted on every highway medians toaid electricity consumption.
