Design of Harmony Vertical Axis Wind Turbine for Power Generation

The search for efficient use of renewable energy is on a high focus to meet the energy demand. The vertical axis wind turbine for generating electricity in highways proves to be a valuable wind energy generation. Enormous amount of wind energy is generated by the moving vehicles on the highways. With the help of this energy, electricity can be produced by using the force of air from the moving vehicles. The savonius wind turbine helps in producing the high operating torque at the low speed of wind. This turbine can be installed in the middle of the highway, so that the wind force can be obtained from both sides of the highways. The wind turbine rotates effectively on it's own axis in only one direction i.e, clockwise direction. The DC generator is connected to the lower part of the wind turbine to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. The generated electrical power is stored in the battery. The stored power can be utilized for automatic lighting system. This method can be used to harness wind energy for street lighting, signal lighting, and toll gates. Everywhere in the world, theft is a major issue on a daily basis. To enhance the security concern, fixing an anti-theft security system with GSM module, helps to send alert messages to the control room.
