Hardware Implementation of Power Generation using Attic Type Internally Braced Air Exhauster for Industrial Application

This work presents power generation using Attic type (internally braced) air exhauster to generate the electrical power for industrial application. Generally power can be generated from renewable and non-renewable energy sources like solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, coal, natural gas and petroleum. To satisfy the growing power demand the industry focuses on alternate energy sources like wind driven mills and PV systems. The installation cost for these resources is high and it also occupies lot of space. Moreover power generation through wind mills induces noise pollution which affects our environment. To eliminate this problem designing an attic type air exhauster with AC generator, Regulator, Boost converter, Inverter, step up transformer will be liable to quench the energy demands. In this method AC generator is used to convert kinetic energy available from air exhauster into electrical energy. The output from the AC generator is given to DC-DC converter (rectifier, Boost converter). Boost converter which steps up the voltage, finally inverter is used to supply the power for utilization purpose [1]. The proposed system’s output voltage is directly proportional to the speed of air exhauster. The proposed system is validated with the Matlab simulation and an experimental setup.
