ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This PSP seminar report shall be incomplete if we do not convey our heartfelt gratitude to those people from whom We have got considerable support and encouragement during this seminar. Many people have helped, provided direction, technical information and advice at all stages of our seminar and its our pleasure to say vote of thanks to all of them. However, with the help of our seminar guide Mr. M.B.TADVI it seems much more interesting to write this thesis than we expected.

Also we are very much thankful for our college SHRI K. J. POLYTECHNIC, which provide us a good study environment & available access to get literature. Besides our friends showed their kindly help & support in our thesis. Because of them, living in Bharuch & studying in K.J.polytechnic (Bharuch) is a nice time.

ABSTRACTThis project focuses on the utilization of wind energy as a renewable source. In the United States alone, wind capacity has grown about 45% to 16.7GW and it continues to grow with the facilitation of new wind projects. The aim of this major qualifying project is to design and implement a magnetically levitated vertical axis wind turbine system that has the ability to operate in both high and low wind speed conditions. Our choice for this model is to showcase its efficiency in varying wind conditions as compared to the traditional horizontal axis wind turbine and contribute to its steady growing popularity for the purpose of mass utilization in the near future as a reliable source of power generation.The benefits of maglev wind turbines, which use full-permanent magnets to nearly eliminate friction by "floating" the blades above the base. According to developers, the technology is capable of scaling to massive sizes, enough to replace 1000 traditional windmills and power 750 thousand homes. Additional benefits include the ability to generate power with winds as slow as three miles per hour, operational costs some 50 percent cheaper than windmills, and an estimated lifespan of 500 years. That all sounds great, but the real proof will come when these things get put to use, which may happen sooner than you'd think: Development is proceeding rapidly in both the US and China, with Chinese power company Zhongke Hengyuan Energy Technology currently building a $5M factory to produce the turbines in capacities from 400 to 5,000 watts.
