Regenerative Energy Air Flow System for Cooling Tower

Abstract:

Energy conservation and improvement in production efficiency are two greater challenges to modern-day manufacturing industries. The rapid growth as seen and forecasted for manufacturing sector has resulted in greater demand for electrical power and energy. This has given rise to the needs for alternative energy to supplement the existing energy resources. This paper proposes a SVAWT named as a regenerative energy air flow system that utilizes exhaust air flow speeds of a cooling tower in a manufacturing plant. The prototype is capable of voltage generation from 24 volts or more depending upon the number of coils and the constant speed of the air flow. This paper proved the feasibility of electrical energy generation utilizing captured kinetic energy from the air flow of a cooling tower thus promoting innovation in green technology in the manufacturing sector.
