Design and analysis of hybrid vertical axis wind turbine with upstream wind deflectors

Abstract

India is currently facing energy crisis with its major dependency on coal, crude oil imports to meet sharply growing energy needs of producing energy by renewable sources .the compound annual growth rate for wind generation has been 11.39 percent between 2010 and 2022 .In recent years demand of energy has seen a rise in development of alternative energy sources such as wind power, solar power and water power. Wind being one of the most abundant and easily available sources is an excellent alternative to conventional energy sources. However the use of wind energy is increasing day by day wind turbines are gaining popularity in the fields of electricity generation. Vertical axis of wind turbine represent a very promising future for wind power generation. The stress induced due to turbulence on the surface of hybrid vertical axis wind turbine is low as compared to normal vertical axis wind turbine. Portability, and development cost is low this is an important factor to adopt vertical axis wind turbine, can be used for residential place as well as for personal use. Thus hybrid vertical axis wind turbine represent a unique technique of power generation. Hybridization involves integrating two or more turbines to increase in efficiency thus the concept of Hybrid vertical axis wind arose which is the base of the whole project. Hybrid vertical axis wind turbine are environment friendly structure that convert the kinetic energy in to electrical power .by reducing 80% of cost it is considered as the cheapest type of renewable energy source due to increase in demand in urban as well as in residential areas.
