Feasibility Study and Performance Analysis of Rooftop Solar Panels and Airdolphin Wind Turbines

Bangladesh's economy has grown significantly in recent years. The nation's rapid industrialization and population have increased the demand for power. However, to mitigate such issue a vast amount of measures have been taken which is not permanent. The world is moving towards renewable generation as it is also beneficial for the environment. However, renewable generation requires lots of land, that is not so freely available in a capital city like Dhaka. Dhaka has a high energy demand as it consumes 46 % of the total generated electricity. In this study, two approaches are shown by utilizing the same space we can generate electrical energy. The first one is to use the empty rooftop space of various Govt. buildings, commercial buildings, and petrol pumps to install solar panels. Another approach can be taken as implementing telecommunication connected to AirDolphine tower which can convert the wind energy into electrical energy and can be mounted in the existing cell tower. A methodology is established to check the renewable generation feasibility from the performance and the economic standpoint. Using the weather data to simulate the final output from rooftop generation and telecommunication-connected wind turbines, a significant amount of energy can be provided from the given model. An annual generation of 1190.986 GWh with a 10.554 km

area can be generated from our simulation which is very positive for the fact that renewable generation is not responsible for any carbon dioxide emissions.
