Abstract

Vertical Axes Wind Turbine (VAWT) Power Source For Campus area with IoT system is one save cost project that can help solve basic problem and needs of students while they wait at bus stop for bus arrivals. The design goal of this project is to produce a wind turbine that captures drag force of the wind from the vehicles passing by the roadway, and also from nominal wind. Scope of users considered for people who uses bus station that locates the wind turbine, especially students. The aim of this project is to create a wind turbine that generates power from vehicles passing by it, and also from nominal wind, which then stored in 12v motor battery, then power transferred to bulb, fan and USB pin to be used by the users. Besides, the product will be manufactured in safety for health, light weight and weatherproof material. When the drag force hits the blades, the blades, which is attached to the rotor of the DC generator, spins and the power is generated by the motor. The DC generator then generates electrical energy from the kinetic energy of the rotating blades, which then transferred to the lead-acid (12V) battery to be charged. If the charge is full, the fuse will cut off the charging to prevent the battery to be overcharged. A voltage regulator is connected to the battery and a USB female pin is connected to the voltage regulator. If the USB port is used, the voltage regulator will reduce the input voltage from the battery to the output voltage 5V to prevent overcharging the USB appliances and causing overheating. To charge a phone, it only takes 5V to charge its battery. Hence voltage regulator is necessary to be connected to the USB pin to control the voltage. In additional, 12V fan and 12V lamp included in this project. So students can turn on and off the light at nigth time and on fan when they needed while waiting for bus. This will cut cost of UTeM electric bills in small ratio and help student as well.
