PRESENTED BY : MICHAEL E. ESTRERA

ADVISER: ENGR.ORNIEL DELOS REYES

 PROBLEM

• Streetlights has the city’s biggest energy demand that causes power shortage.

• As of now , Gusa coastal road don’t have any street light a long the way as its create danger
to the citizen

• Utilizing the available renewable energies

 THE SITE

Location : Gusa Coastal Road, Cagayan de Oro City

 OBJECTIVE

 TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A VERTICAL WIND TURBINE THAT IS CONNECTED TO

MULTI POWER GENERATION STREET LIGHTS

1. To harness the surface wind and wind from moving vehicles

2. To design and simulate a vertical wind turbine that can power a stand-alone
street light that is connected to a multi power generation at Gusa coastal road
3. To design and fabricate the wind turbine by any casting material that can be
manufactured locally.

4. Assessment of wind on site.

 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

• The purpose of this study is to design and implement a vertical wind turbine that uses the wind surface and wind from
moving vehicle as a source for renewable energy. The study is significant in the following ways

1. The study aims to give an idea on the future researchers on a design of a

vertical wind turbine as using the surface wind and wind from moving

vehicle as their source to power a vertical wind turbine

2. To provide another option of renewable energy especially in coastal road

areas.
 SCOPE AND LIMITATION

WIRING METHOD FOR MULTIPLE WIND TURBINE
INSTALLATION

2.12.1 Each Turbine Directly Wired to the Battery

Each turbine operates as an independent system separate from other solar panels, wave

generator or any other battery charging sources. If the turbine has its own fuse and wires,

the turbine is able to individually communicate and charge the battery or battery bank.

[45]
 WIRING METHOD FOR MULTIPLE WIND TURBINE
INSTALLATION
• 2.12.2 Each Turbine Wired to a Bus Wire
Wiring two more turbines to a bus wire and then run one set of wires from the bus bar to
the battery. Each turbine can use internal regulator. Wiring bus wire can reduce the wiring cost by
using a bus bar. [45] Wind turbines need to be positioned so that the distances between them are
between 3-10 rotor diameters. [46]

 CONCLUSION

• As result are presented in chapter 4, the research has achieve its goal in order to harness the wind
from moving vehicle but as the electrical output is not enough to stand alone supply the two
streetlight which has 60W rating does the researcher makes an alternative to solution increase the
number of turbine that can be used to achieve the desired output.. There are two kinds of data that
is gathered using anemometer: Surface wind and Wind from moving vehicles, both were analyze
and used to conclude that the available surface wind speed of Gusa coastal road can be classified
as low same as the wind speed of the moving vehicle. The researcher has successfully simulated
the design using solidworks and the turbine parameters. The wind turbine was successfully made
but due to the generator used the turbine cannot self-sustained the street lights.
 RECOMMENDATION

• In order to improve the researcher in future purposes and to increase the electrical

• output the researcher have the following recommendation.

The turbine should have an additional deflector which harness the wind breezes

To design a generator that is specifically made for the turbine like axial flux

To design the turbine base that is capable of another deflector
