Design, Development and Testing Of Vertical Axis Linear Induction Wind Turbine

Abstract

This paper presents a new innovative idea for design, development and testing of vertical axis linear induction wind turbine (VALI). In this prototype model the Mechanical part of VALI was Savonius rotor vertical axis wind turbine are used for converting the force of the wind into torque on a rotating shaft and a crank was attached at right angles to a rotating shaft by which reciprocating motion is imparted to or received from the shaft. The mechanical part and the electrical part are connected by this crank mechanism. The electrical part consist linear induction generator which generates electrical power that can be converted to dc by using rectifier to glow on LED lights. This prototype model was developed and tested by experimentation
