Wind Turbine design and fabrication to power street lights

Abstract: Abstract.The objective of this work was to design and build a wind turbine which can be used to power small street lights. Considering the typical wind speeds in Abu Dhabi, UAE and ease of construction, the design of the wind turbine was chosen to be Sea Hawk design from vertical axis wind turbine category. A three phase AC generator was used for its availability over the DC motors within the region. A 12V battery was used for storage and a charge controller was used for controlling the charge flow into the ba… Show more

“…In addition to being simple, it has the benefit of being fairly robust and having a robust initial torque, making it simple to start even with moderate wind. The turbine operates well in mild winds, but its yield declines in severe gusts and even becomes brittle, limiting its size [13]. Fixed-pitch rotor designs Website: www.ijeer.forexjournal.co.in Benefit Through Vehicles Passing on Highways in Electrical Power Generation allow for yaw mechanism-free designs.…”

“…The advantage of low blade speed, however, is offset by the need to have a physically bigger, and therefore more expensive, generator and mechanical brake. In addition, VAWTs allow for a variety of design solutions, which are considered aesthetically pleasant by the public and thus also suitable for integration in buildings (Dayan, 2006) or with other infrastructure such as streets (Khan et al, 2017). Therefore, a variety of small manufacturers entered the market either with downscaled VAWTs or with alternative concepts specifically intended for use on rooftops (Mertens, 2003).…”
