Analysis of Magnetic Levitated Savonius Wind Turbine

Abstract

Vertical axis wind turbine is one of the types of savonius wind turbine; VAWT generates huge twisting moment when running under lower speed by wind. Savonius wind turbine is the self-starting turbine; it uses magnetic levitation principle to get high rotational speed for the Generator. Magnetic Levitation is the phenomenon in which anything can freely suspend in the air without any support with opposed of gravitational energy. This magnetic levitation occurred due to the repulsion between the two symmetrical poles. The strong levitation is occurred with the use of permanent magnets. This type of model is to show its greater efficiency in varying wind conditions as compared to the conventional horizontal axis wind turbine and contribute to steady growing popularity for the purpose of increased utilization in the recent future as a reliable source of power generation.
