A Review Paper on Vertical Axis Wind Turbine for Design and Performance Study to Generate Electricity on Highway

Abstract

The use of wind power for energy production, renewable energy is one of the oldest methods for
tapping. Socio-economic development and use of renewable energy is an essential component of economic development.
Tidal energy, wind energy, etc., such as abundant renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on fossil fuels can
help. With increased concern for environment now days led to the research for more eco-friendly sources of energy and
with this considerations wind energy can be deliberated as a feasible option in this regard. Different types of wind
turbines such as horizontal axis wind turbines and vertical axis wind turbines are mostly used for energy extraction.
Horizontal axis mainly used in huge scale applications and thus its implementation is generally a concern due to
enormous instalment setup and initial budget; whereas vertical axis wind turbines offer promising solution for medium
sized residential spaces or smaller ruler areas. Energy production from wind turbines will certainly be affected by
geometry of bade it is using and its orientation in turbine. For effective and operational use of turbine both parameters
must be optimally set and determined. This review emphases on several stages for design and development of improved
vertical axis wind turbine which will studies various factors such as wind energy scenario, different accessible energy
extraction techniques, design and performance analysis of vertical axis wind turbines. It will comprise Optimization of
design parameters of vertical axis turbine blades in view of different parameters such as geometry orientation in
assembly.
