Abstract :

Wind Energy is the kinetic energy associated with the movement of large masses of air. These motions result from uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun creating temperature, density, pressure differences. It is an indirect form of solar energy. The device used to convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical power is called a wind turbine. Vertical Axis wind power generators represent a very promising future for wind power generation. In the present study, an attempt is made to utilize at low-velocity wind below 4m/s for useful power generation using magnetic levitation for vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) termed as Maglev turbine. The efficiency of the turbine is increased by replacing the conventional bearings with magnets in repulsion; the magnetic levitation helps the turbine to spin at a much faster rate as it eliminates the stresses on the shaft of the turbine. The major components are placed at the ground level which ensures the safety of the turbine.In this project, we attempt to design and fabricate in a vertical axis wind turbine with the help of interfaces software CatiaV5.
