Abstract
Today, India is top amongst the list of developing countries in terms
of economic development. Hence the energy requirement is
increasing rapidly. To meet these energy requirements nonrenewable
energy sources are used excessively but due to limited
storage of this sources there is a need for generation of clean energy
through renewable energy sources.
India is having fifth largest installed wind power capacity in the
world. As the region of high speed wind is limited and also the area
required for installation of conventional windmill is high, bladeless
windmill based on vortex induced vibrations can provide the solution
for these disadvantages of the conventional windmill. Bladeless
windmill basically works on the vortex shedding effect.
The device is composed of a single structural component, and given
its morphological simplicity, its manufacturing, transport, storage
and installation has clear advantages. The new wind turbine design
has no bearings, gears, so the maintenance requirements could be
drastically reduced and their lifespan is expected to be higher than
traditional wind turbines.
Generally structures are designed to avoid vortex induced vibrations
in order to minimize the mechanical failures. But here, we try to
increase the vibrations to increase the generation of electricity.
