A Review on Highway Wind Turbine For Electricity Generation

Abstract

The demand for electricity is far higher than its production, so the main goal of our project is to produce electricity at a low cost without affecting the environment. Electricity is generated using the air power generated by the moving vehicle on the highways. Significant amount of wind energy is generated by the difference in pressure created by vehicles moving on highways. This wind energy can be used to generate electricity through a vertical axis through wind turbines. The average electricity generated by highway Turbine is about 0.67kWh/day. This is a unique new method of low energy production in low cost. We use the vertical axis layout for power generation, called turbine power generation. These turbines are mounted in the middle of the highway to mediate wind from both sides of the turbine in the opposite direction, thereby increasing the strong wind speed acting on the turbine. The wind power used by this method can be used for street lighting, traffic signal lighting, charging, etc.
