Small Scale Power Generation in Remote Rural-areas

Physical Science

Since due to global warming and pollution whole world is now looking for renewable source of energy because non-renewable source of energy like coal, petroleum products, natural gas etc is very limited in amount and also there excessive use cause air pollution. The interest in alternative energy source has increased in the recent past. One of the best renewable source of energy is wind energy because wind is present everywhere. The only problem in using wind energy is the wind velocity, which varies appreciably with season and place to place. The solution lies with the proper and economical design of a windmill, which can be used in a small-scale capacity at low velocity in rural areas. The main purpose of this paper is to emphasize the need of development of Savonius rotor and discuss its various design aspects.
