Abstract

Abstract: The amount of wind energy production by strong wakes rises from the high-speed moving vehicles. At this research to use highway moving vehicles wake energy for the generation of electrical energy through vertical axis wind turbine throughout the Bhopal to Indore as well as it is beneficial to all over India's highway where vehicles speed is constantly high. The generated electrical energy is used for renewable self-powered applications such as lighting purposes such as traffic signals, highway lights, and light guidelines in a highway by high-speed vehicles. In this paper, a convenient renewable wind energy gathering scheme of low economic vertical axis wind turbine has been designed and fabricated using low-cost materials to provide electricity alongside the highway between Bhopal and Indore in rural zones where availability of electric power is less. This energy can be generated by using an array of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) located in the middle of the highways and that can deliver an essential significant amount of wind to rotate a wind turbine due to high-speed vehicles moving in both directions and the natural localized wind. This system is economically viable for the society & villages also any men easily build it.
