Savonius Turbine Angle Control System for Optimization of Wind Power

Abstract

e advancement of civilization has always been accompanied by a rise in the usage of fossil fuels. This rise is directly proportional to the improvement in the living standards of the people and the advancement of industrialization. As a result, the demand for gasoline is increasing at an alarming rate, necessitating the development of a fuel source that can overcome all obstacles. To alleviate the issue of fossil fuel reliance, it is preferable to pursue the development of renewable energy sources. Wind energy is one of the renewable energy sources available. Wind energy is a clean source of energy that does not contaminate the environment throughout the manufacturing process. Because it has a high beginning torque, the Savonius vertical shaft wind turbine is well suited for usage in low wind speed environments. This turbine has a straightforward design and construction, with its components organized in the form of the letter S. Wind speeds that are unpredictable provide the backdrop against which the vertical wind turbine with the Savonius S rotor shape is acceptable and useful for use as an efficient electric power generator that generates the greatest amount of electricity. There are many benefits to the Savonius S rotor over the Savonius U rotor, the most significant of which is that the Savonius S wind that hits the rotor flows further into the rotor blades, so supplying greater energy to the rotor blades. A prototype of the Savonius S wind turbine was built using inexpensive materials in previous studies but it was not controlled to generate the most amount of electricity possible. Because the wind entering and being able to drive the turbine is always changing, it is necessary to manage the wind speed so that it stays consistent.
