The growing demand for electricity has led several countries to turn to renewable energy sources, and wind power is one of the related energy sources, and the demand for wind turbines that produce energy efficiently has started to increase. It would be very useful to develop new wind turbines if they could mimic the properties that make photovoltaics one of the most important energy sources in the distributed energy sector. In terms of large-scale wind power, offshore technology (turbines installed at sea) is very promising. The aggressive nature of the marine environment, particularly the corrosion of moving mechanical plant parts, is one of the many problems encountered in marine areas.
The research mainly focuses on the use of wind energy to generate electricity. Major products that use wind energy are wind turbines. The most basic picture for wind turbines is the three blades spinning and energy being generated with the help of a motor, the most recent advancement shows energy can be produced without any help of blades on the turbine or a bladeless wind turbine. The basic principle remains the same use of wind energy to produce electricity but producing much higher energy and with a different mechanism than the traditional way of energy generation. The bladeless wind turbine uses the vibrational energy generated by the wind to produce energy. The bladeless wind turbine consists of a tapered frustum pole called the "mast" and a rod which connects the base and the mast to support and develop pulsation for the eddy currents which will be generated by the alternating system in the base of the turbine. When the wind current strikes the mast it produces a to and fro motion for the mast and one end of the mast is fixed and supported with the rod which is connected to the base to other end being free and subjected to shear force by the wind which will lead to oscillations. The Kinetic energy generated by the mast is transformed into electrical energy with the help of a Permanent Neodymium Magnets and Copper Coils. The way that the energy conversion system works is that when the air flows around the mast creating vortices of air, when resonance occurs between the mast and the air it starts to oscillate leading to generation of electricity with the help of energy conversion system. Renewable energy sources have been receiving increasing attention in recent years due to their potential to address the energy crisis and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Among the various forms of renewable energy, wind energy is one of the most promising sources. Traditional wind turbines have been used to harvest wind energy, but they have some limitations such as high noise levels, bird and bat collisions, and visual impacts. To overcome these limitations, researchers have been exploring
If there is a device that can harvest wind energy without major maintenance, mechanical parts such as gears, bearings, etc. become an important advantage. The oscillations or vibrations produced by the wind are used to generate electric current. How Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) works. Therefore, electricity is generated using permanent magnets and copper coils.
Key Words: Renewable resources, Bladeless Wind Turbine, Vortex Induced Vibration.
1.INTRODUCTION In the 21st century, the main problem faced by various countries like India and China is the growing population with enormous electric energy demands which require excessive use of primary energy resources (coal and fossil fuels) to fulfill the energy demands with a destructive strike to the environment by the form of air pollution. in such conditions where energy is the prominent key for development and a constant hole for the non-renewable energy reserves, and with no other resources to cope with the energy requirement a massive energy deficiency is imminent. But due to more and more advancements in the sector of renewable energy, Society can generate clean energy without harming and environment and can generate energy with the resources easily available in the © 2023, IRJET
