Abstract
As the importance of sustainable energy increases, wind power generation systems utilizing wind energy around high-rise buildings are being developed. However, in existing wind turbine systems, it is necessary to solve noise, vibration problems, and structural issues for the installation of large-sized systems. In addition, small wind turbine systems can be installed only in limited areas such as roofs and corners, because their efficiency is limited to high and stable wind speed. For this reason, the distribution of fluctuating wind pressure around high-rise buildings was analyzed, and its feasibility as an energy source was evaluated, reflecting that fluctuating wind pressure can be used in vibration-based energy-harvesters. To achieve this, firstly, experimental conditions and theories were established to check the characteristic of wind pressure around high-rise buildings. The experiment was divided into the environment without surrounding buildings and the urban environment. Next, the pressure distribution around high-rise buildings and the quantitative results obtained from the experiment were determined. Finally, based on the results obtained from the experiments, the feasibility of fluctuating wind pressure as an energy-harvesting source was analyzed. From this study, it was found that fluctuating wind pressure can be used as a new energy source at new locations of high-rise buildings that were not utilized previously.

Wind power receives great attention as a renewable energy source
Using the wind tunnel experiments, static and fluctuating wind pressure distributions generated by wind blowing onto the front of the high-rise building in the urban environment were analyzed by wind blowing onto the for front the high-rise building inUrban the urban environment were analyzed
Wind tunnel test to analyze the feasibility of fluctuating wind pressure as a new energy-harvesting
Summary
Wind power receives great attention as a renewable energy source. Because wind power is eco-friendly and sustainable for the production of electric energy, it receives great social acceptance [1].its utilization increased in recent years. Wind power receives great attention as a renewable energy source. Because wind power is eco-friendly and sustainable for the production of electric energy, it receives great social acceptance [1]. According to the five-year forecast following almost. Most wind power generation systems are located in areas affected by wind, such as hills and coasts. Their importance in urban environments is increasing. The research and development of building-integrated wind turbine (BIWT) systems is actively being pursued in accordance with such situations. Europe, the United States, and China, which have policies for eco-friendly carbon reduction, are leading research on BIWT systems [3]
