Abstract

Every country in the world is on a mission to convert and utilize renewable energy sources like wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy etc., due to perishing and exhausting non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels, natural gas, oils, etc. Every major country of the world is on a vision to utilize wind energy by 35% for their electrical needs by 2030. Yet the major problem is that many backward countries in the world are that they are facing major electricity shortages due to their inability to invest in power plants and to buy electricity from other countries. Though the renewable energy sources like wind energy are efficient the major problem is the initial investment cost. The backward countries cannot invest in such a huge project. In order to achieve the world vision for wind energy and to provide electricity even for remote areas, this paper aims at developing the wind turbine which is portable and can be carried and can be installed on the roof tops of the houses and in the remote areas of the world, places and in remote areas with less population density. The design of portable wind turbine is carried out in Solidworks Part Design, the fluid flow analysis is carried out in Solidworks Flow Simulation and structural analysis is carried out in Solidworks Simulation.
