Analysis of Hybrid Windmill

Abstract

Hybrid energy system with the combination of multiple energy generation process has gained much attention nowadays due to its reliability and increased flexibility. This study carried out is an analysis of a hybrid windmill with and without blades. The proposed model consists of two systems. The first system is a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) system. The second is a bladeless wind turbine or Vortex wind turbine system. Here the overall analysis helps to visualize the proposed model and eliminate the errors and mistakes like aeroelastic instability and aerodynamic resonance that exists in the previous models. The simulations and flux density diagrams of the systems is visualized to support the main study of the hybrid system. The flux density analysis and the structure design of permanent magnet was done using Ansys software. The structure design and CFD analysis for the two systems was done using Solidworks.
