Abstract:

Wind turbines are becoming popular in the renewable energy world. Development in the wind turbines are being made to make it more reliable and effective but the problem is with the transmission of power from the generating plant to the remote (off-grid) locations. Many developing countries have very limited power distribution to rural locations, and small wind turbines have proven to be an effective means of bringing electricity to many people and villages in remote locations. From here we define the main objective of the project is to design and develop a small scale wind turbine to serve as an effective means of generating electricity in remote locations. Savonius wind turbine is one of the kinds of vertical axis wind turbine in which we have made some design alterations to develop Aeroblade Savonius wind turbine. Aesthetic, economic and functional requirements are incorporated into it in order to make it a part of the sustainable consumer products. Other than the rural areas, installation of this turbine in schools, parks, offices and anywhere required will considerably reduce the electricity bill. This turbine is designed as an aid to the energy consumption of the product in which it is incorporated, maintaining the advantages of a conventional Savonius rotor as self-starting, easy manufacture and maintenance and able to integrate into its environment.
