A Novel Method to Generate Electricity Using Fast Moving Vehicles Train
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
In present scenario, the efficient way of utilizing energy resources is the biggest challenge to overcome the energy demand. Wind power has sufficient potential to compensate the demand in energy sector. The facts says that, in India the utilization of renewable energy sources is only 19.8%. Outstanding renewable sources are not appropriately used. In this discernment, there is a necessity to improve the effective way of utilizing wind energy sources. The proposed idea is to consume the wind potential from fast moving vehicle (train) and also increase the efficiency of the turbine by enhancing the wind flow through turbine blades. The introduced idea is capable of generating electricity which is two times greater than the existing wind turbines. This novel technique maximizes the wind to electrical energy conversion ratio and over comes the pressure imbalance on the existing blade designs. Horizontal axis wind turbine is placed in both sides of fast moving train. The proposed wind turbine consists cone shaped metal case is used in purpose of low head wind to run the turbine with higher efficiency than the conventional wind turbine. In addition to, the resistance offered by the turbine is nulled by the cone shaped metal case. In case of any obstacle is detected near sides of the train, the turbine is automatically closed to the train. The generated electricity is used to various loads in each compartment of the train. It is believed that introduced idea will bring a revolution in maximizing the utilization of wind energy.
