ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on use of air on highway divider with the help vertical
axis wind turbine. When the vehicle passed on the highway it produces a
considerable amount of air due to its speed. This air tangentially strikes on
the blade of the vertical axis wind turbine and its makes a rotation of the
turbine in only one direction.The generator with the gear mechanism is
connected to the shaft of the vertical axis wind turbine to generate
electricity.
The electrical output of vertical axis turbine is stored in a battery. This
stored energy which can be further used for street lighting, toll gates, etc.
INTRODUCTION
In a day to day life, the demand for the electricity is much higher than the production of electrical
energy. One of the major problems ever since the natural resources are going to finish one day. The
fossil fuel major role in production global warming, a greenhouse gas, etc. currently 68 percent of
the electrical energy produced by the thermal power plant and remaining 22 percent included
hydropower plant, nuclear power plant, gas power plant and as we realized the fossil fuel is finished
in one day. Solar and wind both are renewable energy sources. Solar energy available begins of day
and the wind energy is maximum on the highway due to the speed of the vehicle. The motivation of
this project contributes the global trend toward clean energy. The main motive behind this project is
to design a vertical axis wind turbine which effectively uses the wind energy generated by the
vehicle speed on the highway. So the maximum wind energy can be extracted by the vertical axis
wind turbine as compared to the horizontal axis wind turbine. We have designed modified savonius
vertical axis wind turbine which is more efficient than old savonius design.In modified vertical axis
turbine we twisted the blade of the turbine to gain maximum spin on low pressure of the wind, we
also try to achieve less vibration at gear moment .This turbine works under all the environmental
condition and cyclone also. This design of the blade enables the turbine to rotate in clockwise and
anticlockwise directions.
LITERATURE SURVEY
Darrieus Vertical Wind Turbine
The first aerodynamic vertical axis wind turbine was developed by Georges Darrieus in
france and first patented in 1927. Its principle of operation depends on the fact that its blade
speed is a multiple of the wind speed, resulting in an apparent wind throughout the whole
revolution coming in as a head wind with only a limited variation in angle. From the
prospective blade, the rotational movement of the blade generates a head wind that combines
with the actual wind to form the apparent wind. If the angle of attack of this apparent wind on
the blade is larger than zero, the lift force has a forward component that propels the turbine.
An angle of attack between zero and 20 degrees requires a sufficiently high blade speed. A
Darrieus turbine can’t self starting; it needs to be brought to a sufficiently high blade speed
by external means.
Variable Geometry Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
P. J. Musgrove in 1975 led a research project at reading University in the UK whose purpose
was to attempt to rationalize the geometry of the blades by straightening out of the blades of a
Darrieus type wind turbine. This led to design of straight blade vertical axis wind turbine
designated as the H rotor blade configuration. At the time it was though that simple H blade
configuration could, at high wind speeds ,over speed and become unstable. It was thus
proposed that reefing mechanism be incorporated into the machine design thus allowing the
blades to be feathered in high winds. These machine earlier machines with feathering blades
were known as Variable Geometry Vertical Axis Wind Turbines.

METHODOLOGY
Hardware Description :
 Step Down Transformer – Used to step down the input voltage of 230 volt into
required 12 volt ac.
 Rectifying Unit – Used to convert the ac input voltage into required dc voltage.
 Filters and Regulators – Used to filter the rectified dc voltage and also to regulate the
voltage by a regulator IC.
 8051 Microcontroller – Used to send the trip signal whenever over current occurs by
programming to 8051 IC.
 Comparator – Used to compare the input from the current sensing element with a
reference voltage.
 Relay – Used as a fault sensing element in the circuit.
 MOSFET – Used to energize the relay by turning on when the load is increased
above the pre-set value.
 LCD Display – Used to view the status of the output sensed by the microcontroller.
 GSM Module – Used to receive or send SMS of the over load condition.
Working :
The main power supply is given directly to load and step down
transformer. 230 volt is Step down to 12v and then we use diodes which are act like a rectifier
to convert ac to dc and passed through 7805 regulator to get 5v supply for microcontroller,
capacitor filters are used to remove the ripples to get pure constant 5v dc voltage.
The current passing to load is sensed by the current transformer and

output of CT will be in analog form is given to the ADC pin of microcontroller for converting
the analog output to digital data. The current sensed is compared with the inbuilt
comparator of microcontroller which as pre-set reference value. If the current sensed is less
than the pre-set value than MOSFET will be in OFF state and relay will not trip the supply to
load. As we increase the load current drawn is more so if the current is increase than the
pre-set value than MOSFET will turn ON and energizes the relay. The relay coil gets
energized, causing the armature to shift its position to the normal open point from the normal
closed point. The AC supply to the load is thus cut off from the load and the load is tripped.
Once the circuit is tripped it must be reset for further use using reset button. In either case, the
microcontroller is programmed so as to show the status of the output on the LCD interfaced
to it. In case of normal operation microcontroller will pin will receive 5v dc from regulator
and accordingly displays the status on the LCD. In case of any abnormalities, the
microcontroller pin doesn’t receive the 5V input signal and the related status is accordingly
display on the LCD. In this project, we are protecting our circuit from excessive load current.
A GSM Module is connected to pin no 10 and 11of port 3 (RXD and TXD) of the
microcontroller. As load increases then device get OFF and the user will receive a message
through the GSM via SMS.
