Generating Wind Energy at Low Altitude

Ravindra Joshi

The wind is a naturally occurring and abundant resource of energy. It harvests energy with minimal impact on the environment. It is a vital factor in meeting our increasing energy needs. It is one of the most flourishing industries in the world to produce electricity. The impact of wind energy is substantial in the equatorial region. These geographical locations and topography make windmill and wind turbine are neglected to produce electricity. The present invention exemplifies the design of a small windmill, which can be mounted on structures at the coastal and hilly region to generate electricity with the help of airflow at low altitudes. This paper focuses on developing electricity with the help of low altitude wind flow. It includes developing a mounting of the wind turbine system, to install on the trees, streetlamps, at specific locations. These specific locations should receive turbulent-free airflow. This paper also quantifies the amount of generated electricity in a very effective way to display the system’s effectiveness and viability practically. Fair and meticulous research work has been conducted to display its effectiveness in the coastal regions of India. It raises the importance of renewable energy and creates an additional resource in the energy development of the country.
