Energy Harvesting in Highways using Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

This abstract presents an innovative approach to promote sustainable energy production through the strategic installation of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) along highways. The proposed system leverages the wind energy generated by passing vehicles and incorporates advanced monitoring and control mechanisms using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Key components include VAWTs for power generation, battery storage, loT-driven monitoring, and algorithms for data analysis. Real-time data, encompassing wind speed, electricity generation, and battery status, is gathered by IoT devices, transmitted to a central platform, and scrutinized with sophisticated algorithms to enhance overall system efficiency. The stored electricity contributes to a cleaner and more sustainable energy ecosystem, powering various applications. This groundbreaking system not only effectively harnesses renewable energy but also signifies a significant step toward establishing intelligent, environmentally conscious, and energy-sustainable highway infrastructure.
