Designing of a Small Scale Vertical Axis Wind Turbine & Its Performance Analysis in Respect of Bangladesh

Abstract

Power crisis is one of the major problems in Bangladesh which is increasing day by day. In such situation renewable sources could be the best possible solution. But the power of the renewable sources varies with day time and climate. Electrical energy plays a vital role in development of civilization. The advancement of a country is measured in terms of per capital consumption of electrical energy. It is quite impossible to solve over all power crisis but possible to control load demand by using compact fluorescent lamp, transferring holiday, transfer from peak to off-peak hour only through proper planning by load management, encouraging Independent Power Producers, reducing transmission loss, more utilization of renewable energy sources. So, vertical axis wind turbine can play a vital role against this power crisis. This system is very much cost effective in the long run and also very much environmental friendly.
