DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF MAGLEV WIND TURBINE.

The traditional wind turbine need very high structures to allow room for their massive blades, hence Maglev Turbines are an ideal solution. It is estimated that renewable sources might contribute about 20%-50% to energy consumption in the later part of the 21st century. Maglev wind turbines have several advantages over conventional wind turbines. For instance, they?re able to use winds with starting speeds as low as 1.5 meters per second (m/s). Also, they could operate in winds exceeding 40 m/s. At present the largest conventional wind turbines in the world produce only five megawatts of power. However, one large maglev wind turbine could generate one GW of clean power, enough to supply energy to 750,000 homes. The paper aims to make a systematic analysis of design and fabrication processes to find out optimum output from the Vertical Axis Maglev Wind Turbine and by also using solar panel for using the solar energy to generate electricity.
