HIGHWAY WIND POWER PLANT

INRODUCTION
Energy is an important part of any countrys economy. Today major energy need in a country is achieved by using conventional sources of energy. It includes coal, natural gas, nuclear fuel, etc. But these sources are limited on earth. Looking towards the environment effect as thermal plant releases smoke and ash which causes air pollution Nuclear power plant releases radioactive waste which are hazardous and cause air and land pollution. Due to these factors we concern our idea toward non conventional sources of energy.non conventional sources of energy are environmental friendly, easily available on earth .Wind energy has evolved as one of the non conventional sources of energy . It is an indirect form of solar energy. Wind power plant extract energy from wind and convert it into mechanical energy which is used by turbine to convert it into electrical energy.

Cause of wind flowDue to movement of the high speed vehicles on the highway they give the motion to air near to the highway. This can be easily seen on the plants at the divider on the highway.

Parts of wind Machine Rotor blade:


Blade extracts power from the wind. When wind forces the blade it transfers some energy to rotor. Betzs coefficient Theoretical studies show that ideal wind turbine extract 60 % of total wind energy. that is maximum fraction of power that can be extracted by wind turbine is 60%.Therefore Shape and size of blade will determine turbine performance.

Shaft
Wind turbine shaft is connected to centre of rotor .when the rotor spins the shaft spins as well and rotor Transfers rotational energy to shaft .

Generator
Generator is a device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy . Generator is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

Turbine efficiency
Turbine efficiency = Na * Ng * Nc * Ngen Where Na = aero turbine efficiency Ng= gearing efficiency Nc = mechanical coupling Ngen = generator efficiency 3.2.1 Cost of Energy COE is calculated using the following equation: COE = (FCR x ICC) + AOE AEPnet where COE levelized cost of energy ($/kWh) (constant $) FCR fixed charge rate (constant $) (1/yr) ICC initial capital cost ($) AEPnet net annual energy production (kWh/yr) AOE annual operating expenses LLC+ (O&M + LRC) AEPnet LLC land lease cost O&M levelized O&M cost LRC levelized replacement/overhaul cost Initial Capital Cost The initial capital cost is the sum of the turbine system cost and the balance of station cost. Neither cost includes construction financing or financing fees, because these are calculated and added separately through the fixed charge rate. The costs also do not include a debt service reserve fund, which is assumed to be zero for balance sheet financing. Primary cost elements tracked in the model include the following: Rotor o Blades o Hub o Pitch mechanisms and bearings o Spinner, nose cone Drive train, nacelle o Low-speed shaft o Bearings o Gearbox o Mechanical brake, high-speed coupling, and associated components o Generator o Variable-speed electronics o Yaw drive and bearing o Main frame o Electrical connections o Hydraulic and cooling systems o Nacelle cover Control, safety system, and condition monitoring

Tower Balance of station o Foundation/support structure o Transportation o Roads, civil work o Assembly and installation o Electrical interface/connections o Engineering permits When evaluating offshore turbines, the following additional components or elements are considered: Marinization (added cost to handle marine environments) Port and staging equipment Personal access equipment Scour protection Surety bond (to cover decommissioning) Offshore warranty premium
