Numerical and Mechanical Modeling of Reciprocating Type of Wind Harvester for Rural and Remote Areas to Generate Electrical Power

Abstract

Now day’s energy is the fourth basic needs for human beings after food, cloth and shelter. On the other hand energy has also its own  draw back to our living environment especially if we are using   fossil fuels as source of energy .Wind energy  is among the recently flourishing technologies and get more acceptance from time to time to meet the energy demand of the societies and to reduce the environmental crises happen  due to fossil fuels. Thus, Small wind turbines are the best options to provide power for those which have limited power access and areas far from the central grid. Areas which have a lot wild diversity especially birds reciprocating type of small wind turbines are good alternative to save the life of the birds. Designing a reciprocation type wind power harvester which is able to produce electricity with low cost, designing analysis, manufacturing and maintenance was the main objectives of the work. The overall procedure for completing the project starts by collecting relevant data for the design up to finalizing the project as a methodology. The Core parties were designed and suitable material by considering different criteria were selected for individual components. The design made ware safe and turbine is economically feasible and environmentally friendly. Finally, this technical document concluded that the capacity of the Reciprocating Type Wind Power Harvester produces the ideal output power of 10.125kw at the tower high of 20m above the ground with cut in speed of 3m/s wind speed Keywords: Energy, Wind energy, reciprocating type, small wind turbine
