Abstract:

The need for renewable energy increases in today’s world due to demand for the fossil fuels. Wind energy is one among the natural resources which is cost effective and efficient for power generation. Magneto repulsive wind turbine is a modified windmill that predominantly works by combining wind force and magnetic repulsive force using high performance permanent magnets (HPPM).The repulsive force helps to generate sufficient torque for rotating the wind turbine even at low wind velocities and to reduce starting velocity. The MRWT is designed such that there is no direct contact between propeller shaft and rotor shaft with gear arrangements. The HPPM were arranged such a way to produce in turn rotates the disc which is connected with rotor shaft using SOLIDWORKS modelling were developed for the MRWT. It can be noted that the principle and structure of the MRWT id markedly different from MAGLEV windmill. HPPM are used in MRWT as it improves its efficiency by enabling power generation at lower starting velocities, and also increasing productivity.
