Design of anti-glare device for freeway with power generation using a vertical axis wind turbine

In this paper, a novel anti-glare device for vertical axis wind power generation for freeway is designed. Firstly, the structure is designed based on a bionic airfoil vertical axis wind turbine(VAWT), the parameters are determined to meet the national freeway anti-glare board requirements. Secondly, the flow field characteristic of the device is analyzed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, and the structure is further optimized. In addition, the scheme of group generation using this device is proposed. Detect the performance parameters of the prototype, further optimization was carried out, and finally the structure and parameters of the device were determined. Finally, the prototype is tested on a reflux wind tunnel test bed, its energy efficiency and other performance are verified by experiments.
