The principal objective of this project is Power generation via a hybrid system that includes wind and solar energy. Our intention is to design a wind turbine compact enough to be installed on the roadside. So we decided to design a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) over Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT). Advantages of VAWT over HAWT are compact for the same electricity generation, less noise, easy for installation and maintenance and reacts to wind from all directions. The wind turbine is designed to generate electricity sufficient enough for a power direction. The electricity generated will be stored in the battery and then given to the load. This project emphasizes electrification to charge the batteries of electric vehicles with minimum cost. Wind energy is considered the fastest growing clean energy source however; it is limited by variable natural wind. Highways can provide a considerable amount of wind to drive a turbine due to high vehicle traffic. This energy is unused. Extensive research on wind patterns is required to determine the average velocity of the wind created by oncoming vehicles. The wind turbines will be placed on the medians therefore fluid flow from both sides of the highway will be considered in the design. Using all of the collected data, existing streetlights on the medians can be fitted with these wind turbines. Additionally, since the wind source will fluctuate, a storage system for the power generated will be designed to distribute and maintain a constant source of power. Ideally, the turbine can be used globally as an unlimited power source for streetlights and other public amenities.
