INTRODUCTION:
In modern generation, research and development activities in the field of renewable energy, especially wind and solar, have been rapidly increased due to the worldwide energy crisis and high global warming. The horizontal axis wind turbine cannot be used for household purpose. So, Savonious vertical axis wind turbine can be better option as it operate in loading condition also. The choice for this model is to showcase its efficiency in varying wind conditions as compared to the traditional horizontal axis wind turbine and contribute to its steady growing popularity for the purpose of mass utilization in the near future as a reliable source of power generation..
WHAT IS ENLIL VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE:
ENLIL is a smart vertical axis wind turbine project that transforms highways into renewable energy sources by using the dynamics of the city. It also provides comfort and safety to the city and keeps the environment clean. By placing the hybrid vertical axis wind turbine (inclueding a solar panel on top of it) on highways, ‘’Metrobus-lines’’ and other transportation lines as well as high-rise residences , ENLIL will generate energy by using the winds created by the vehicles aswell as the natural winds.For natural wind it depend on its velocity. It will also measure the city’s temperature, humidity, wind and CO2 by using the the build-in sensors and the IOT platform.
here an examples of ENLIL vertical axis wind turbine,
HOW IT WORKS:
- The turbine has in-built sensors and helps generate energy by using the winds created by passing vehicles as well as natural windflow.
- ENLIL turbines are multitasking pieces of technology that utilizes existing infrastructure. They have a built-in IOT platform which measures the temperature, humidity, wind and CO2 levels of the environment where it is placed.
- It has an earthquake monitoring station as well which will help provide information in advance about any seismic movement that may cause earthquakes, thus we can send advance information security to the peoples of the area.
- The recording made by ENLIL can help predict weather and provide wireless internet. It can also help check the carbon footprint by keeping track of the CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
- ENLIL is helping build smart cities of the future thanks to its team of talented engineers and environmentalists. ENLIL will soon launch its own mobile app to provide data about the readings recorded by the wind turbine.
ADVANTAGES:
1) Independence on wind direction, no additional
control mechanisms are required.
2) Ability to operate in a wide range of wind conditions.
3) Electrical equipment can be placed at ground level.
4) Low noise emission.
5) High starting torque.
6) Compact size.
7) Simple and cheap construction.
