Abstract

Wind is one of the energy that can be use to generate electricity with the help of helical wind turbine. This project is to design and develop a model of helical wind turbine generator for motorways. From that it can be evaluate the potential energy haryesting via helical wind turbine based from lab environment scale. A major difficulty in the growth of wind energy is instability in the sources of wind in Malaysia. Motorways appear to be a sufficient source of potential wind energy whereby the experiment are test by different wind profile from 2.5 m/s until 6.6 m/s and different height at 1.0 meter and 1.5 meter from the ground. In the present work, design of helical wind turbine can be placed to the pole light · on the motorways and appraise by using Flow simulation from solidworks software where it show the wind streamlines and wind profile and fabricate a model to be test for the lab environment scale to evaluate the output. As the test show up the maximum output voltage for no-load test is 22.2v at 6.66 m/s and for the fixed-load test is 0.48 watt at 6.6 m/s. lastly, from the overall experiment show that the 1.0 meter test show the highest output power.
