Increasing the wind power generation by modifying the windmill mechanism

Abstract

The population-consuming resources are expanding by the day; the resources are mostly used in a limited fashion. As a result, a technique for connecting natural resources with growing populations is necessary. Wind turbine technology produces the highest power of any currently available renewable energy source, but it only converts energy into electricity in one direction of wind flow. Power creation is constrained since the current technique is intended to produce energy by receiving input from just one direction. This initiative aims to address this problem. This project's mechanism uses wind energy in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions as input. Under perfect conditions, this system creates a lot more electricity than the existing traditional windmill system. This output is attained by changing the windmill's gearbox transmission system from a planetary gear system to a simple gear train system along with intermediate gear. As a consequence, if the wind blades allowed the two directional effects, then using this system the wind turbine blade's rotational position is reversed. Therefore, it can obtain an increase in power production by the recommended designed mechanism. These effects are analyzed by ANSYS Fluent software and the results are used to prove this increased output energy than the existing domestic windmills. In terms of electricity and energy conservation, this project shows a successful output.
