 INTRODUCTION:
 The importance of the development of new renewable technologies to generate
electricity have impulsed the development of the wind turbines.
 Actually, in the market exists a great variety of design of this kind of devices.
 The characteristics of the helical Savonius vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) have shown
excellent capabilities for the urban media, such as the ability to extract power from
turbulent winds and the generation of less noise and vibrations.
 For that reason it is important to develop a Savonius VAWT with a superior efficiency
(power coefficient, CP).
 This optimization involved the rotor profile shape, diameter and working velocity of it
(tip speed ratio or TSR).

RENEWABLE RESOURCES :
• Current installed base of it’s 16,492.42
MW which is 10.12% of total installed
base.
• India is second largest exploiter of wind
energy (1000 MW) and fifth largest wind
power industry, with installed capacity
of 9587 MW.
• India utilize 33 lakh bio-gas plant, 2 lakh
solar cooker and street lighting system
using photo voltaic technology
• India targets 14000 MW generation
capacity in future.
• Share of non-hydro renewable in power
generation increased from 2.5% to 8.6%

GENERATION OF ELECTRICITY BY USING WIND
TURBINE (VAWT type) :
 The Vertical Axis Wind Turbine is a wind turbine
in which the direction of air flow is perpendicular
to the axis of rotation of blades

 They are generally used in small scale application

 VAWT is more efficient in small scale power

generation than horizontal axis turbine

 ADVANTAGES OF VAWT :
• Cheaper to produce than horizontal axis turbines.
• More easily installed compared to other wind turbine types.
• Transportable from one location to another.
• Equipped with low-speed blades, lessening the risk to people and
birds.
• Function in extreme weather, with variable winds and even mountain
conditions.
• Permissible where taller structures are prohibited.
• Quieter to operate, so they don’t disturb people in residential
neighbourhoods.

LIMITATIONS OF VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE :

Less Rotation Efficiency.

Lower Available Wind Speed.
Component Wear-Down.
Less Efficiency.
Self-Starting Mechanism.

 Our Moto :
From this project, we provide a new mechanism to increase the drag
force on the blade as it will increase the performance of wind turbine.
The flipping mechanism used in VAWT is a unique mechanism
designed.
This mechanism is used to change the position of the blades during its
operation to increase the resultant drag force on the turbine blades.
 The flipping of the blades is the most important improvement in the
turbine.

WORKING OF PROJECT:

 The flipping mechanism used in VAWT is a unique

mechanism designed.

 The flipping of the blades is the most important

improvement in the turbine. This changing the position of
the blades helps in increasing the total drag force
procured from the wind. This turbine has been so
designed that each blade flips an angle of 90o before and
after coming in contact with the wind. The flipping
mechanism does not require any external energy source to
change the direction of blades during turbine operation. It
is totally dependent on the rotation of the rotor shaft.

CONCLUSION :
Our work and the results obtained so far are very encouraging and
reinforce the conviction that vertical axis wind energy conversion systems
are practical and potentially very contributive to the production of clean
renewable electricity from the wind even under less than ideal sitting
conditions.
It is hoped that they may be constructed used high-strength, low- weight
materials for deployment in more developed nations and settings or with
very low tech local materials and local skills in less developed countries.
The Savonius wind turbine designed is ideal to be located on top of a
bridge or bridges to generate electricity, powered by wind. The elevated
altitude gives it an advantage for more wind opportunity
