Tikrit Journal of Pure Science

Due to the lack of electric power in areas away from power transmission lines and high prices of conventional fuel due to high pollution. A vertical system is used which depends on wind energy used to rotate a vertical turbine. The system is manufactured from local materials and tested. and study the number of blades with the other characterization of system we found, increasing the torque with increasing the blade of turbine, and increasing the power coefficient with increasing the tip speed ratio and low bitz limit. http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.24.2019.135

Design, Analysis and Fabrication of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

— We know that the world electrical consumption is increasing day by day. Wind and Solar are the two-main renewable source which can help face this electricity crisis. HAWT are efficient but they require high velocity wind and high altitude to work. On the other hand, VAWT can produce electricity at lower altitude. As we know, vehicle plays an important role in providing short range high velocity wind flow. This wind flow can be effectively used by placing a VAWT on the median of the road and capturing wind energy and converting it into rotational energy and then to electrical energy. The aim of this work is to design and develop a new Savonius type vertical axis wind turbine which uses wind flow from vehicle and convert it into electrical energy for small scale energy applications.

Design and Analysis of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

With the current surge in fossil fuels prices, needs for cleaner electricity sources, and authorities funding incentives, wind generators have come to be a plausible science for electricity generation. Currently, horizontalaxis wind generators (HAWT) is dominating the market by its giant size and high power generation. However, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) are capable of producing a lot of power, and offer many advantages over (HAWT). The most important goal of this project is to design, analyze and fabricate vertical axis wind turbine to operate in low wind velocity condition. Parametric studies are performed by using the software SOLIDWORKS and Stress analysis, vibration analysis and other various analysis is done using CFD. We conclude from the research that the mass moment of inertia is the most dominant sketch parameter when you design wind turbine to work in low wind velocity conditions. PVC pipes are the most affordable and cheap material for making the aero foils at the rural areas for small wind turbines.

Design and Manufacturing of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine for Power Generation

2020

Vertical axis wind turbine uses a radically new approach to capturing wind energy. The device captures the energy of wind and converts it into mechanical form. As the wind bypasses over a turbine blades, the energy will be transferred to the alternator which will exert the force in the down ward direction. These forces are transferred by the belt and pulley arrangement to the battery. The alternator connected is convert wind energy to mechanical energy. Naturally, the design of such device is completely different from a traditional turbine. in horizontal axis wind turbine we use blades, generator and gear which increase the cost of project by 20% of equipment cost. VMWT puts the technology at the very low range of capital intensity for such projects; it also makes it highly competitive not only against generations of alternative or renewable energy, but even compared to conventional technologies. This project increases the efficiency than HAWT.

Design and Construction of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Blades

International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET), 2022

This study aims to check the Vertical Axis Wind Turbines blades and their different types and their feasibility. Increase in energy demand results in need of clean energy like wind energy. This project is done to design and construct the vertical axis wind turbine blade for small scale usage. The vertical axis wind turbine is having axis of rotation vertically and that's why yaw motor is eliminated. The demand of renwable energy sources is increasing day by day as the fossil fuel is limited and will end one day as well as it has adverse effect in environment and which leads to green house effect, etc I.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE

The principle objective of this project is Rural Electrification via hybrid system which includes wind and solar energy. Our intention is to design a wind turbine compact enough to be installed on roof tops. So we decided to design a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) over Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT). Advantages of VAWT over HAWT are compact for same electricity generation, less noise, easy for installation and maintenance and reacts to wind from all directions. The wind turbine designed to generate electricity sufficient enough for a domestic use. The electricity generated will be stored in the battery and then given to the load. This project emphasizes on electrification of remote areas with minimum cost where load shading still has to be done to meet with demand of urban areas.

Design and Analysis of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine on Small Scale Energy Production

2019

This research work is conducted for computing the performance of vertical axis wind turbine. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is used to analyze the mechanical performance of VAWT. The two bladed and three bladed VAWT performance is calculated by simulating each VAWT by using CFD software. Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs), can be installed in the locations where the wind speed is low. The aim is to develop a VAWT with improved turbine performance to harvest electrical energy more economically and sustainably. The spiral design is capable to sweep wind efficiently and it has less negative effect of torque on reversing blade which is the main advantage. The CFD analysis is used to understand the performance of two bladed and three bladed VAWT before fabrication in result efficiency is increased. The efficiency of 24.63% and 24.93% obtained for two bladed and three bladed VAWT.

Journal of physics, 2019

This project is a design of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine using Kinetic theory, Aerodynamics model, Hooke's law and Young Modulus. Aerodynamic model method was use to design the blade and the blades are three for effective harness of the wind speed. Bearing was introduced for easy rotation and reduction of noise. The use of plastic gears was introduced so that one revolution of the shaft carrying the blades leads to forty six (46) revolution of the alternator. The alternator then generate electric power. The power generated was 65 W under wind speed of 0.8m/s. .
