“…The VAWT turbines have different applications [21] to generate electricity, pump water, purify and/or desalinate water by reverse osmosis, heating, and cooling using vapor compression heat pumps, mixing and aerating bodies of water; and heating water by fluid turbulence. Rathore et al [22] suggests VAWT use on highways, in which vehicles travel at high speed in both directions producing an Performance of main conventional wind machines and possible areas for new hybrid designs [18].…”

The use of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) in Colombia could tackle the energy distribution difficulties as large parts of the territory are not connected to the electrical grid. The present chapter explains how to design and select an accurate VAWT for a mountain site, (the Chicamocha’s canyon) by characterizing the wind energy potential, selecting the appropriate blade’s airfoil, and design its corresponding blades to obtain an accurate VAWT performance. This methodology can be used to design and allocate a VAWT for residential use, as it tackles the critical point on wind energy design and selection. It is found feasible the use of wind energy at the location where the mean year density power is 485 [W/m^2], and the DU06W200 airfoil is suggested as its aerodynamic efficiency (cl/cd) overcomes by 14% the commonly used NACA0018. Finally, straight blades are recommended to overcome the inertial effects of the low wind velocity at the location.

“…Improving the energy utilization efficiency can be indirectly attained if wind energy produced while operating a vehicle is effectively utilized (Wang et al, 2017;Ren et al, 2022). A practical, low-cost method of gathering renewable wind energy using inexpensive materials, VAWT, has been constructed by Kumar Rathore et al (2021) to deliver energy alongside the highway.…”

The constant need for fuel to meet the commercial sector’s ever-increasing demand has driven researchers to discover and optimize renewable energy resources, paving the way for sustainable production of reliable and clean energy resources. The goal of the current work is to close the gap in process parameter optimization needed to convert wind energy wake from traffic on highways into electrical energy utilizing vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs). The energy output from the VAWT is analyzed to investigate how it is impacted by the variations in multiple parameter settings. Using the central composite design (CCD), a three-level four-factor array was used to investigate the following parameters: VAWT vertical distance (VD) and horizontal distance (HD) as continuous parameters, while road side (S) and location (L) of VAWT as categorical parameters. To find the most important parameter, response surface methodology (RSM) optimization and an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test are performed. L accounts for 66.67% of the total variable, with S coming in second with 51.80%. Using the best results from RSM and ANOVA, a confirmation test is run, and the results show yields of 88.75% ± 0.05% and 87.5% ± 0.05%, respectively. Therefore, RSM and ANOVA can be utilized equally for optimization at the same VAWT design. Lastly, the findings of the economic and environmental evaluation demonstrate that, in comparison to the basic settings, VAWT operating at optimal settings can save up to 180% and 200% more energy and reduce carbon emissions, respectively.

The potential for hybrid combinations using solar and wind energy can be found in several places, one of which is on the highway. Highways are open areas exposed to direct sunlight and wind can blow forming natural wind tunnels. In addition, vehicles that pass on the road also generate wind which can then be used as an energy source. The purpose of this study is to find out how significant the potential for hybrid energy is by utilizing a combination of solar energy and wind energy obtained from utilizing traffic flow. The method used in this study is an experimental method by testing how much energy is obtained from sunlight by using a solar cell 50 Wp and wind energy by using a technological innovation Veritkal Axis Wind Turbine (VAWTs) 300 watts as a producer of electric power on the highway by utilizing two types of wind at once, namely atmospheric scale wind that blows naturally and wind from vehicle traffic on the highway. Current, voltage, and power measurements are then measured using a digital watt meter. The study's results found that the combined potential of solar energy and wind energy obtained from utilizing traffic flow was 552.11 watts, greater than just using a naturally blowing engine with a power of only 498.67 watts. This energy difference occurs due to an increase in wind frequency generated by traffic flow by 22%.
