Abstract
Worldwide technology is now working on “GREEN ENERGY” due to the destruction and unavailability of fossil fuels and this is comprehensively being impacted by Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) as they possess huge prospective to contribute towards ever growing demand of green energy. For sustainable contribution of VAWT’s, these turbines should be made utilizable outside such as roads or motorways in urban areas. This project features goals to utilize the power of urban environment to produce energy using VAWT’s effectively and efficiently. The main purpose of this project is to introduce the new material for VAWT blades which will be light in weight so to lessen the cut-in speed. As there are low cut-in speed in urban areas so the light weight turbine produces more cut-in speed. The turbine will be place on roads medians and sides, also on motorways. The power generated from these turbines will also be transfer to street lights and grid stations after storing in batteries.
