Tapping of Lost Velocity of Air For Wind Mill with Second Rotor Set -Up

Abstract
Wind power is more efficient and affordable than it has ever been which has helped drive its popularity. It is important to understand that greater use of nation’s abundant wind resources for electric power generation will help stabilize energy costs, enhance energy security, and improve our environment. Also, wind energy has been of prime importance as wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid or even combined with a photovoltaic (solar cell) system. For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a large number of wind turbines are usually built close together to form a wind plant. Several electricity providers today use wind plants to supply power to their customers. Recent studies have highlighted the negative impacts of its use of environment and life especially on birds. But there should be a trade-off between its use and its impact. This experimented study deals with maximization of wind energy by incorporating another wind rotor set-up adjacent to the main wind rotor so that the velocity of air that bypasses the main blades strikes the second rotor set -up thereby minimizing the percentage of bypassed air. An attempt is made to combine the outputs of these two and feed this output to turbine as a single input. By this method, the area required for installation can be reduced, at the same time maximize the conversion rate of wind into energy (power output). The objective is to increase the performance and reliability of next-generation wind technologies while lowering the cost of wind energy.
