Generation Of Power By Using The Wind Energy Created By Fast Moving Train The Case Of Future Ethio-djibouty Railway

This project is to generate electricity by using wind turbine that can be installed between the sleepers on a track, and as the train passes overhead, the wind drives a turbine to generate electricity. These devices are placed along railway lines, and make good use of an otherwise wasted resource. This system used battery storage, three blades, small wind DC generator and wiring. If the speeds of the train are high the wind speed also high .A train speed of 56m/s will produce 15.24m/s wind speed, which is high enough to generate power. With this wind speed and a blade radius of 0.25metres 1200 turbines produced an output power of 468kW which is enough to power the cityrnCalculations of wind power generation by the turbine are discussed. Design and model of wind turbine conducted. Simulation of wind power generation is also conducted in MATLAB Simulink. Collection and distribution of power is highlighted. Economical profit of the suggested design is also discussed in detail. The payback period calculations for different scenarios are also discussed at the end.
