Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Project

This project aims to develop a vertical axis wind turbine using a DC generator to efficiently harness wind power. The proposed system uses a vertical axis wind turbine with a DC generator and power conditioning circuitry to charge batteries and power loads. This design is intended to simplify installation and maintenance compared to horizontal axis wind turbines, and provide power for remote areas.

OBJECTIVE

• This project develop a vertical axis wind turbine using DC generator.

• The objective of this project is to enhance the design system of a wind


turbine in order to create and to easily harness most efficiently wind
power energy.
ABSTRACT
• In today’s life the demand on electricity is much higher than that of its production the
main objective of our project is to produce electricity by using the force of air created by
the moving vehicle in highways.
• In highways the vehicle suffers a lot to travel in night time because of lightning problem.
This problem can be overcome by using the vertical axis highway windmill (vahw).
• This is a new unique method of power generation. In this method the windmill blade is
designed in a vertical direction and it is kept at the middle of the highway divider by a
series combination.
• The force in the middle portion is higher than the side of the road. This force will rotate
the vertical turbine blade. And this blade is coupled with the generator and this generator
will produce electricity. In our method we have coupled one more generator and we have
increased its efficiency.
EXISTING SYSTEM
• Existing used only horizontal axis windmill.  Horizontal axis means
the rotating axis of the wind turbine is horizontal, or parallel with the
ground. 
• The disadvantage of horizontal axis however is that it is generally
heavier and it does not produce well in turbulent winds.
• Currently used vertical axis turbines are powered by wind coming
from all 360 degrees, and even some turbines are powered when the
wind blows from top to bottom. it used only AC generator.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
• The proposed system of vertical axis wind energy system with DC
generator.
• The vertical rotational axis of a VAWT allows the generator to be
located at the bottom of the tower.
• This is expected to simplify installation and maintenance.

islands etc., where we are not able to transmit electrical
power
• The environmental pollution is eliminated.
• The hybrid solar wind turbine generator provides reliable
power.
• Easy installation, low capital cost, less maintenance and no
running cost.
APPLICATIONS
