Abstract

Wind energy is a new future renewable energy source that has been introduced to the world in order to protect the environment in the long run. Wind turbines can be utilized to increase the turbulence produced by wind energy in roadways. This project will investigate the feasibility of using wind turbines to power street lighting on Malaysian roadways. To undertake this feasibility study, certain parameters will be chosen. This shows the design and fabrication of a vertical axis wind turbine model as well as a model of three different types of vehicles. The SPA and AMJ highways in Melaka, Malaysia, will be the principal area for collecting wind measurement data utilizing an anemometer at a specified height from the ground. It will then be employed as testing parameters for the movement of three different vehicle models as well as a portable table fan wind speed reference. The voltage and current output data will then be gathered and measured with a multimeter. The variations in data output between helical and curve blade types, as well as the state of the wind turbine model with and without barrier mechanism, will be compared. This wind turbine model's graphical output will demonstrate the viability of employing this actual wind turbine model to power street lighting on Malaysia highways. A number of suggestions and enhancements have also been made in order to assist future research on the feasibility of using wind turbines in Malaysia.
