Abstract
This project studies the potential for portable vertical axis wind turbine system for the domestic house hold purposes. The application of wind energy in power generation is increasing day by day. Vertical axis wind turbines are considered to be more efficient than Horizontal axis wind turbines but with urbanization and limited access to wind in cities, Vertical axis wind turbines may offer greater advantages, as Vertical axis wind turbines are used in the house roof tops. In many high altitude regions, average wind velocity is around 5 – 8 ms^(-1) which can be utilized for electrical energyproduction, but in cities, that are at lower altitudes and are congested, so in order to increase the efficiency of working the general vertical axis wind turbine blades are replaced for attaining more torque from the obtained air force. The rotation of wind turbine blades is converted into electricity by means of generator which is coupled with the shaft of rotating blades with the help of gear arrangements. This system can be implemented in moderate windy region for generation of electricity.
