Abstract –
The present global scenario is favouring towards
renewable energy technologies due to the exhausting of fossil
fuels, GHG emissions and global warming.
In this paper, a review has presented to how to plan a
wind power technology for a building mounted wind turbines.
Site measurement of wind speed requires time and money that
often are not available for small micro-generation projects.
Analysis of wind speed estimation for the selected area, local
weather conditions can affect the planning of wind power
plants in isolated areas.
To design wind turbines around numerous high-rise
buildings with promising wind, this paper presents an
integrated method of weather data and domain topography
with technical analysis. This study demonstrates that how the
wind power can be integrated in to Green buildings. Finally a
study of feasibility of the wind turbine will be analyzed with
technical parameters and its implementation.
Key Words: Green buildings, Homer software, Simulation,
small wind turbines.
1. INTRODUCTION
To lead a luxurious life in the present era the educated
minds in the society have started adopting certain measures
which lead to climatic change ,forest fires which further
leads to increase in the emission of Co2 in the atmosphere .
The rapid increase in the population worldwide adversely
reports in increase in the power demand and it has also
resulted in the fast rate of depletion of fossil fuel reserves .At
the same time the awareness in environmental degradation
has given rise to the use of alternative approach the
renewable source of energy like solar, hydro, geothermal,
tidal and bio-energy. Out of these above mentioned clean
energy sources Wind energy conversion has emerged as a
boon in the recent years. The harnessing or trapping of wind
power has become easier due to the recent advancement in
the technologies with a cost effective plan which challenges
the traditional methods. The wind power utilization is the
answer to all the problems which are being encountered
globally and it is in the limelight to conserve the
conventional energy source[1].
Wind Power
Wind constitutes air which varies in its excited state
due to the change in the pressure and other environmental
factors and it also carries kinetic energy with it. This kinetic
energy is converted into mechanical energy and further to
electrical energy by generation. The air circulates in the
atmosphere due to the phenomena of non-uniform heating
of the earth’s surface by the sun. The warm area where the
air flows gets expanded and is forced upwards by the cool,
denser air which flows in the surrounding area giving rise to
wind [2]. The energy accessible in the wind varies as the
cube of the wind speed; so it makes a challenging effort in
understanding the characteristics of the wind resource and
the prediction of the economical viability of wind projects by
procuring the feasible wind turbines. The crystal clear fact is
that there are many different climatic regions in the world
and all the places have different wind variability. The
topography has a major effect on the wind climate and it is
obvious that more wind is experienced on the top of hills and
mountains than in the bottom part .Moreover wind velocities
significantly gets reduced by obstacles such as trees and
buildings. As discussed earlier the power in the wind is
proportional to the cube of the wind speed and is given by:-
Where: P = mechanical power
ρ = air density(kg/m
3
)
A = area swept by the rotor blade.
V = velocity in air(m/sec)
ρ is proportional to A and to the cube of the wind speed v.
When we double (A) it may produce twice the power i.e
doubling the wind speed produces eight times the power
potential[3].
WIND POWER CONVERTORS
Wind power convertors are of two types:-
Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine.
Vertical Axis Wind Turbine.
