“…This concept has been discussed and evaluated in the study was done in 2016, where the results showed the power the power which is produced by wind turbines is limited by the vehicles types and how they move as a lone or as groups [7] .some of studies are using a hybrid design to power the street lights, the system consists of renewable resources like PV panels with wind turbines and battery with controller; the results showed that wind energy in which reduced the requirement of storage about 38% with 14.4% cost reduction, this study can support this paper encouragement of using these type of wind turbines in Al-Durra highways [8]. In india an effective study has been done and 64% of maximum rotational speed was achieved if small wind turbines were used along highways streets [9]. According to that VAWT wind turbine will be used along median strip of Highway Street in Baghdad/Iraq, harvesting the wind speed it is come from vehicles movement along the highway to feeding the VAWT turbine to generating the electricity and supplying the street lighting at night.…”

“…The proposal of work is distributing small vertical axis turbines (VAWT) with battery along median strip of Al-Durra Highway Street to generate electricity. The cause of using VAWT types of wind turbines is due to their efficiency of high speed wind collecting, as well as the high starting capacity of torque [8,9].This electricity is used to charge batteries and supply the street lighting at night.…”

In certain spots on the planet which have less attainable of utilizing enormous breeze power plants, the expressway wind vitality can be utilized to help little loads in the main grids. Interstates road lighting for instance of that heaps that is expending a great deal of vitality and cost every year. When the vitality that originates from vehicles development along the highway avenues can be taken in thought, this paper has examined the outcomes if moment vehicles wind speed during 24 hours per day. 24 hours, brief interim of vehicles wind speeds have been estimated by utilizing anemometer put in the road. A vertical pivot wind turbine (VAWT) has been proposed to be utilized in this task. All venture regulation has been simulated by utilizing Opendss program; it can support time series simulation. The outcomes demonstrated that the undertaking is possible to be utilized in Al-Durra Highway Street. The normal breeze speed of moving vehicles is 4.7 m/s which can deliver 67.3 watt by the proposed turbine. The got energy saw that it as contributed to be utilized by the maingrid during the day time. All the demonstrated bends of the outcomes speak to the Iraq grid support by diminishing the main demand and operational expenses too.

“…The wind source was generated by four fan blowers arranged in a 2 x 2 configuration with a size of 800 x 800 mm, as shown in Figure 3(b). The distance between the fan blower and the turbine shaft was 1000 mm to obtain stability and uniformity of the wind speed [27]. The balance of airflow causes the turbine rotation to be more constant and produced more stable power.…”

Savonius, a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT), is applicable for harvesting wind energy in Indonesia, having an average wind speed of 4-5 m/s. Owning the advantages as suitable for placing in the urban areas as well as reducing the huge electricity load, the Savonius received considerable attention from researchers in making the performance improvement. Therefore, the current research provides an investigation on the effect of adding extra layers on concave blades on the performance of the Savonius wind turbine model. As the novelty, the modification of conventional Savonius turbine has been developed by adding single and multiple layer blades on the tip blade with an overlap ratio (OR) of 10 and 15%. It was tested under wind speeds of 6.46, 6.99, and 7.27 m/s, which generated by the fans blower with a 2x2 configuration. The results show that the addition of multiple layers increased the Savonius power coefficient by 22.4% and 11.2% at OR of 10 and 15%, respectively. The highest power coefficient (Cp) is found at 0.12, which obtained by the Savonius turbine with multiple layers of 90⁰ and OR of 10% configuration. It is concluded that adding the multiple layer blades enhanced the performance of Savonius wind turbines.

The main aim of this work is to design, fabricate, and test a wind turbine for power generation applications in rural areas. Vertical Axis Wind Turbines were selected to harness the energy from wind through the drag forces induced due to vehicular movements. Various parameters were analyzed for the design of a low‐cost wind turbine. A Savonius blade was selected for the design, which could be accommodated on the median of the highways. By using recycled materials, a low‐cost wind turbine was fabricated at a cost of $117.5 approximately. The wind turbine was placed on the houses and on the highway medians to test the power output at various operating conditions. Average electricity consumption at selected rural houses were calculated. The calculated average electricity demand during power cuts in the selected rural houses was around 0.2–0.6 kWh/day. Average generated electricity from the turbine at highways was observed to be around 0.67 kWh/day. The Levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of the generated electricity from the proposed SWT on highways is around $0.04/kWh. The LCOE of the proposed design is relatively cheaper when compared with the conventional horizontal axis wind turbines. The energy demand during power cuts was met completely when the SWT was placed on the highways. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38: 278–285, 2019
