Design and Development of Building Integrated Wind Turbine for Classroom Electrification at College Campus(KSCST, Bangalore)

The integration of renewable energy resources in buildings is a fundamental aspect of the 21st century architecture in order to achieve zero energy buildings (ZEB), reduce the consumption of fossil energy and cut carbon emissions in urban areas. Besides photovoltaic systems, now a days small wind turbines (SWTs) are becoming particularly interesting due to their potential to produce energy at moderate wind speeds. These small wind generators (200 W - 10kW) can be integrated into urban buildings for supplying power to individual premises. However, the development of small scale power such as SWTs are focused on private consumers, Therefore, the mass scale dissemination of this technology demands increase in efficiency and reduction in cost.
