This abstract presents a comprehensive overview of the vertical axis highway wind turbine system, focusing on its design, functionality, advantages, and potential applications. Unlike traditional horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT), VAHWTs are uniquely suited for urban environments due to their compact size, aesthetic appeal, and ability to capture wind from any direction, including turbulent urban winds .With the increasing demand for renewable energy sources and the growing concerns about climate change, there is a pressing need to explore innovative and efficient ways to harness clean energy. One such solution is the vertical axis highway wind turbine (VAHWT), a promising technology designed to generate electricity from wind energy along highways and urban corridors.This abstract also discusses the potential applications of VAHWTs, including powering streetlights, electric vehicle charging stations, and other infrastructure along highways. Moreover, integrating these turbines with smart grid technologies enables efficient energy distribution and grid stabilization, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure. the environmental and socio-economic benefits of VAWMs are evaluated, emphasizing their role in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and fostering local economic development through job creation and technology innovatio.Moreover, recent advancements in materials, aerodynamics, and control systems are discussed, highlighting ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of VAWTs. Innovations such as lightweight composite materials, aerodynamic optimizations, and smart grid integration hold promise for further enhancing the performance and scalability of VAWT technology
