Project Summary

ower from wind or water current can be extracted using a horizontal or vertical axis turbine. Vertical axis turbines are capable of extracting power from wind or water current regardless of the direction of flow. A hybrid turbine consists of two types of turbines on a same shaft. Such a design exploits good features of two turbines. This paper presents the design of a hybrid turbine based on a straight bladed Darrieus (lift type) turbine along with a double step Savonius (drag type) turbine. Four bladed Darrieus rotor is placed on top of a Savonius rotor. The hybrid vertical axis turbine has much better self-starting characteristics and better conversion efficiency at higher flow speeds. The hybrid turbine is built and tested in variable speed water currents. This turbine design can also be used as a wind turbine. This paper presents the system design and performance test results of the hybrid turbine. The designed hybrid vertical axis turbine will be used to generate power at the sea floor for an instrumentation system.

Project Objectives

There are few objectives set in this project to ensure that the out coming product is fulfillingthe requirement. Staring a project with a clear objectives and specific direction are importantto structure the project along the given time and validate the success.

To propose unique and innovative designs of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine.

To propose suitable design of rotor blades for maximum efficiency.

To design all the necessary component of the Wind Turbine adhering to suitablestandards and codes.

To design suitable power transmission system between the Turbine and the drivenmachine.To prototype the design to a suitable scale.

To conduct performance and cost analysis of the design

Project Implementation Method

Based on the base VAWT selection, two conceptual designs is proposed.DesignConceptual Design 1 Conceptual Design 2TThe idea of the conceptual design is to enhance the self starting ability of the VAWT. Thus, asystem with drag propulsion mechanism is added to the middle of the Darrieus Rotor.Conceptual Design 2 is selected as the suitable VAWT for the project. As result shown in thesimulation that the frame help to reduce the deformation of shaft and also it still maintain thecharacteristics of the VAWT that harness the wind from all direction to produce electricity

Benefits of the Project

It is pollution free and noisless in short it is  environmental friendly.

Low cost

Easy to install.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

There is a solar pannel at the top along with wind turbine.The generated electricity is stored inside a 12v battery and then given to a 240v electric bulb.There is an inverter that convert the dc into and a charge controller that is used to check the status of the battery.A dc generator is fixed with the turbine shaft to generate electricity.
