Abstract
The fastest growing renewable energy sector in India is Wind Energy which is
vital for economic growth of the country and since independence India has
worked on their resources on increasing its energy capacity, Keeping this point
of view the project studied the feasibility for installing the vertical axis wind
turbine (VAWT) system especially at roof-top.
This project aim of utilizing this wind energy in most effective manner to get the
maximum electric output.
This project also aims for maximum output with minimum cost indulges, so that
the government can think over this project and can implement this type of
vertical axis wind turbine on highways at low cost.
Keywords: Vertical axis wind turbine, Design, Fabrication, Renewable energy

Introduction

✔ Wind power turbines come in handy in the market today. Vertical-


axis wind turbine happens to be one of the most popular and
widely coveted wind turbines.

✔ It is also more practical, reliable and cost effective has the best
longevity and durability features.

✔ Therefore, you will be able to use it efficiently over a long haul.

✔ The turbine is also designed in a unique way that enables it to work


efficiently in an urban and suburban area.

Wind Energy
 The kinetic energy of the wind can be changed into other
forms of energy, either mechanical energy or electrical
energy.

 The kinetic energy contained in wind can be transferred to


other objects, such as boat sails, or transformed into
electrical energy through wind turbine generators.

 With the recent surge in fossil fuels prices, demands for


cleaner energy sources, and government funding incentives,
wind turbines are becoming a more viable technology for
electrical power generation

How Wind Turbine Works

 All wind turbines essentially work the same way with minor
modifications depending on size and configuration.

 The wind turns the blades to spin a shaft which connects to a generator
which produces electricity.

 Essentially the rotors harness the kinetic energy of the wind and coverts it
into electrical energy.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
 We make a “Savonius” type VAWT.

 The turbine starts rotating at 4m/s speed.

 VAWTs are quiet, Omni-directional.

 VAWT doesn't create as much stress on the support structure.

 It can be installed on chimneys and similar tall structures.

 Popularizing the wind energy for domestic application.

 The blades point upward.

Project Components
 Permanent Magnet Generator

 Permanent magnet generator is same as that of shunt motor


with the difference that there is permanent magnet.
 The life of this motor is more compared to others.

 Hallow Shaft

 3mm diameter hallow shaft is used.

 Blades

 We used wood for making blades of VAWM.

Measurement of Wind Speed and Velocity

 In prior stage of the wind turbine project has


basic requirement is to measure the wind speed
and the velocity.

 Testo is the German equipment to measure the


wind and all other parameters is use for any of
our wind project for assurance of wind speed

Advantages
 Accepts wind from any angle.

 Better answer to rapidly changing winds.

 Components can be mounted at ground level - Ease of service.

 Lighter weight towers.

 Virtually silent operation.

 High Mechanical stability

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine June - 202313 13


Limitations

 Rotors are generally near ground where wind is poorer.

 Poor self-starting capabilities.

 Requires support at top of turbine rotor sturdy construction.

 Requires support at top of turbine rotor.

 Overall poor performance and reliability.

Conclusion

 we done our literature survey and market survey on VAWT. And it


has try to mentioned advantages, applications, limitations.

 It is understood that in the future most of our energy source will


based on wind energy.

 We understood how to design blade and measurement of wind speed


with use of anemometer.

 It had made a prototype model with using a acrylic material and try to
mentioned a it looks like a original model.
