Abstract

A wind power electricity generation system is the most cost competitive of all the environmentally clean and safe renewable energy sources in the world. This paper brings a new possibility for the utilization of the wind generated power, for various electrical components inside a typical railway train through the batteries charged by the wind energy harnessed by a series of wind turbines mounted near the rest room of each coaches of train coaches. This paper deals with the design and development of a wind turbine system with a concept of generation of electricity as an auxiliary source in the train. Aerodynamics is the study of air flow around a moving object where the dynamics of bodies moving relative to gases, especially the interaction of moving objects with the atmosphere. The aerodynamic profile is formed with a rear side, is much more curved than the front side facing the wind. Thus the movement of wind and its velocity can be studied based on this analysis. The simulation results and the theoretical results are verified.
