VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE
INTRODUCTION

A vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) is a type of wind

turbine where the main rotor shaft is arranged vertically.
This means the blades rotate around a central vertical
axis, unlike horizontal axis wind turbines where the blades
rotate horizontally. VAWTs are often designed to be
compact and can capture wind from any direction, making
them suitable for urban areas or locations with changing
wind directions. They come in various designs, including
Darrieus, Savonius, and helical styles.

ADVANTAGE OF VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE
• The wind turbine does not need to rotate in the direction of the
wind
• Low speed gives full torque from the wind so aerodynamic
efficiency is good
• The structure is simple, so wind turbines are made at low cost
• Operation and maintenance can be done easily
• Easier Their compact design makes them easier to transport to
remote locations or areas with limited access.
 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
smaller and have simpler designs compared to other turbines, making them easier to
transport to remote or challenging locations.

Clean Energy: They make electricity without burning stuff, so they're good
for the air we breathe and for fighting climate change.

Environmental Friendly: Since they don’t need fuel or water, they don’t harm the
environment like some other power sources do.

Reduced Energy Costs: Because they can be transported more easily, there’s less
need for specialized transportation equipment, saving energy and reducing costs
associated with moving them to different sites.
 Their compact size and simple construction mean they can be set up relatively
quickly, reducing the time and energy needed for installation compared to larger,
more complex turbines.

typically have fewer moving parts than other types of turbines, which means they
require less maintenance over time. This not only saves energy but also reduces
the need for transportation of maintenance crews and equipment.

and adaptable design allow them to be deployed in various locations, including

off-grid areas or places with limited access, providing energy solutions where
traditional power sources may be impractical or unavailable.

. Supports Energy Access: By being easier to transport and install, Savonius

turbines can help bring electricity to remote communities or areas without reliable
access to the grid, supporting energy access and improving quality of life for
people living in those areas.

Promotes Local Manufacturing: Because they are simpler in design and

construction, turbines can often be manufactured locally, reducing the need for
long-distance transportation of components and supporting local economies.
AUTOMATIC LIGHTNING SYSTEM BY LDR
• An LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) based automatic light cut off
system is a simple yet effective way to save energy by
automatically turning off lights when they are not needed. The
system consists of an LDR, which senses ambient light levels,
and a relay or transistor switch connected to the lighting circuit.
When the ambient light level falls below a certain threshold,
indicating that it's dark enough for the lights to be needed, the
resistance of the LDR increases, triggering the relay or transistor
switch to turn on the lights. Conversely, when the ambient light
level rises above the threshold, indicating sufficient natural light,
the resistance of the LDR decreases, causing the relay or
transistor switch to turn off the lights, thereby conserving energy.
This system is commonly used in outdoor lighting, streetlights,
and indoor lighting in spaces like stairwells, corridors, and
restrooms, where lights can be automatically turned off when not
in use, contributing to energy savings and environmental
sustainability.i
FUTURE GROWTH AND
APPLICATIONS
• Improved Designs: People are working on making Savonius turbines even better, so
they can generate more electricity with less wind and be even quieter.
• New Uses: They might start using these turbines in more places, like on boats or in
remote areas without power, to help people get electricity where it’s hard to reach.
• Small-Scale Power: They could become more popular for homes or small businesses,
providing electricity locally without needing to rely on big power plants.
• Backup Power: In the future, they might be used as backup power sources for
emergencies, like when the electricity goes out during a storm.
• Green Technology: As we focus more on clean energy, Savonius turbines could play a
bigger role in helping us reduce pollution and protect the environment.
• Learning Tools: They’ll keep being used to
• teach people about renewable energy and inspire them to find even more ways to
use it wisely.
