Methodology for power generation using exhaust fan cum micro wind turbines in high-rise buildings.

At present, electricity demand and pollution are the main concerns all over the world. With the help of this paper, a small contribution to energy production and pollution in the environment can be reduced. Exhaust Fan Cum Micro Wind Turbine (EFCMWT) is used for power generation. In this paper, I study a novel approach of EFCMWT for power generation. It has been installed at a height of 14.11 m at the windows near the toilet in a high rise building at Kosi Hostel NIT Patna. The EFCMWT generates power at a height of 14.11 m in the building. With respect to wind speed, various parameters are analyzed, such as how much DC voltage is generated, how much DC current is generated and also it is analyzed that how much EFCMWT power is generated and tip speed ratio variation with respect to wind speed. On windows where EFCMWT is installed, place anemometer near EFCMWT and analyzed wind power. The power coefficient with respect to wind speed is also analyzed for EFCMWT. Maximum DC voltage is 16 V, maximum DC current is 0.076 A, tip speed ratio is 0.45 and maximum EFCMWT power is 1.216 W which is achieved at wind speed of 7 m/s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
