DESIGN & FABRICATION OF MODIFIED WIND TURBINE

SYNOPSIS
INTRODUCTION:

Wind energy is one of the major forms of renewable energy resources found

abundantly which is widely used as an alternative energy. Wind power is sustainable and the

production of electricity using wind energy is increasing day by day due to lack of

availability of fossil fuels. The energy can be converted into electricity by using vertical axis

wind turbine (VAWT). The vertical axis wind turbine is highly used for domestic

applications. This paper focused on increasing the efficiency of using wind energy by

producing large amount of electricity and reduces the space for installation. This can be done

by vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) and pedaling concept in a same tower.

OBJECTIVE:

 To increase the individual and overall efficiency of wind mill turbine.

 To obtain maximum individual and combined output power.

 To minimize overall and individual cost of a wind mill turbine.

 To reduce space requirement for installation.

 To achieve suitability for low and high wind speed.

METHODOLOGY:

Environmentally, there were some limitations in horizontal axis wind mill. So we

have to change the design of wind turbine to improve the efficient power generation. The

current attempt describes vertical axis wind turbine and its importance in energy production.

The air foil is the shape the wing which connected to another end of the radial arm. The air

foil shape provides the rotation through the axis of the radial arm. If air flows in atmosphere,

it can be rotated on the perpendicular axis. By the arrangement of radial arm and airfoil blade

give the expected output of 700/0. The radial arms works as a horizontal turbine and air foil

blades works as a vertical turbine. That air foil and radial arm center to be coupled with the
dynamo. Dynamo converts that mechanical energy into electrical energy by the principle of

Faraday’s law, which converted electrical energy stored in the battery. That renewable energy

used for our domestic or other appliances.

ADVANTAGE:

 No harm to birds

 Accepts wind from any angle.

 Better answer to rapidly changing winds.

APPLICATION:

 Commercial complex, buildings, colleges.

 In house use

 Portable so we can use it on car, bike.
