Study of Stand-alone Wind Energy System

Abstract

This work investigates the implementation of Helix wind turbines installed at VNR Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering and Technology (VNRVJIET) terrace, focusing on a sustainable energy generation system. The system comprises Axial Flux Generators (AFG) with a PCB- based design, converting mechanical wind energy into efficient electrical power. The research involves a comprehensive analysis of power generation through various wind speeds. The methodology involves theoretical power output calculations using air density considerations, coupled with the turbine's characteristics at different wind speeds from 2 m/s to 18.5 m/s. Results showcase the varying power output levels based on wind speed, offering insights into the system's performance. The project underscores the viability of harnessing wind energy, outlining the potential for renewable energy applications in educational institutions. The conclusions drawn emphasize the significance of wind power as a sustainable energy source and advocate for further advancements in wind turbine technology for efficient electricity generation.
