Abstract

The rapid growth of renewable energy generation is increasing to meet the demand of electricity. In this paper, the generation of electricity is achieved by using vertical axis wind turbine using the force created by moving vehicles. For that purpose wind turbines are placed at the centre of the highway for the generation and utilization. There are two types of axis is available in wind turbines, horizontal and vertical axis. Horizontal axis is commonly used but it is not applicable for highway applications. There are some types of turbines are available in vertical axis. In this paper, two types of turbine blade model is made as hybrid in VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind Turbine) which increases the efficiency in wind energy utilization. Due to this hybrid model, drag and lift are increased and rotate automatically even in low wind speed. The power generated by this VAWT can be utilized for highway applications, and then the excess power will be injected to grid or local area. The power is stored in the battery bank which is placed under the windmill and utilized at the night time for lighting purpose on the highway. Q-Blade software is used to design the blade shape and the efficiency improvement is verified by Q-Blade.
