As the gap between how much electricity we need and how much we produce keeps widening, finding sustainable energy alternatives has become critical. This paper explores the idea of using "highway wind turbines" essentially, capturing the artificial wind drafted by fast-moving vehicles to generate power. Specifically, we look at whether Vertical Axis Highway Turbines (VAHT) could work along the busy roads of Bangalore, India. We dug into airflow patterns, looked at how these turbines should be designed, and tested a prototype to see what kind of numbers we could get. Our research suggests that VAHT systems have real potential to power roadside infrastructure, like streetlights and cameras, which would take some load off the main grid. We’ve pulled together insights from previous projects and our own experimental models covering design, aerodynamics, and the practical benefits to show that this could be a smart move for urban renewable energy. .
KEYWORDS
Implementing Vertical Axis Highway Turbines in Bangalore isn't just a science experiment; it's a viable solution for urban energy needs. By tapping into the wasted wind energy from traffic, we can power essential road infrastructure sustainably. The prototype results are promising, showing that even small units can make a difference. With proper policy support and further refinement especially exploring hybrid solar options this technology could be a cornerstone of future smart city developments in India.
