 Introduction
 Since we know that in our day to day life, the demand for electricity is much higher
than the actual production of electrical energy. This happens to be one of the major
problems ever since our natural resources are depleting.

 Fossil fuel play a major role in the rise of global warming as trees are cut down and
burned and burning of coal, oil, etc. We all need to realize that fossil fuels won’t last
forever.

 Currently 68% of the electrical energy is produced by the thermal power plant and
remaining is produced by hydropower plant, nuclear power plant, gas power plant.

 Solar and Wind are both renewable energy sources. Solar energy can be used widely
and wind is abundant source of energy on the highway due to the speed of the vehicle.
 The main motive behind this project is to design a vertical axis wind turbine which
effectively uses the wind energy generated by the vehicle speed on the highway.

 So the maximum wind energy can be extracted by the vertical axis wind turbine as
compared to the horizontal axis wind turbine. We have designed modified savonius
vertical axis wind turbine which is more efficient than old savonius design.

 This turbine works under all the environmental condition and during a cyclone too.
Design of the blade enables the turbine to rotate in clockwise and anticlockwise
directions.

 The arrangement of solar plates is in such a way that they divert the vehicle air
towards the turbine for effective use of air. The solar system generates the electrical
energy by sunrays in day mode and from vehicle headlight during night mode the
generated electrical energy and can be used for street lighting, toll gates, charging
vehicle batteries etc.

 Problem Statement
• The development of vertical axis wind turbines can be traced back to 300 – 900 A.D.
where these were utilized for grain grinding and water pumping processes. VAWTs
offer a number of advantages over traditional horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs).
They can be packed closer together in wind farms, allowing more in a given space.
They are quiet, Omni-directional, and they produce lower forces on the support
structure. They do not require as much wind to generate power, thus allowing them to
be closer to the ground where wind speed is lower. By being closer to the ground they
are easily maintained and can be installed on chimneys and similar tall structures.

• Research at Caltech has also shown that carefully designing wind farms using VAWTs
can result in power output ten times as great as a HAWT wind farm the same size.
 
• VAWTs are much quieter than HAWTs, with dB levels at ground level ten meters from
the tower measured at around 95 dB for a HAWT versus 38dB for a VAWT. This is due
to several factors, starting with the much lower tip speed of VAWTs.
 
 However most of the above claims are considered debatable by people with experience of
wind engineering and most of the active installers. There is very little history of
successful VAWT operation, despite their long history.
 
 Thus in this project we aim to carefully design, analyse, fabricate and calculate the
performance of a Vertical axis wind turbine to determine problems with these turbines
and attempt to suggest some solution to the determined problem.

 Literature Summary
 Majority of study has been done on implementation of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
on highways.

 Many work had been reported about implementation of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
on highways which is more effective as a result.

 There is many more variations of the design of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine to come
with more effective working and more efficiencient producing electrical energy.
 Objectives
 The main objective of our project is to use the maximum amount of wind energy from
vehicle running on highways.

 The unused considerable amount of pressurized air used to drive the vertical axis wind
turbine from which the kinetic energy of turbine is converted into electrical energy.

 The main aim of this project is to reduce the pollution produced burning of fossil fuel.

 The generated energy by VAWT and solar system are stored in a battery and this
stored energy which can be used street lighting, toll gates or in future to provide the
charging node to the electrical vehicle.

 And leading our society in a clean and sustainable generation of energy to power.
