Vertical axis wind power generation system in the United Arab Emirates

What is a vertical axis wind turbine?

A well-designed vertical axis wind turbine can harness the unused kinetic energy from these cars and convert it into electrical energy. Three different kinds of wind turbine designs namely, helical, troposkien and flat were selected for simulating power output on highway dividers.

How a wind turbine works in the UAE?

Most highways in the UAE have cars traveling from 80 km/h to 160 km/h. A well-designed vertical axis wind turbine can harness the unused kinetic energy from these cars and convert it into electrical energy.

How much wind power does the UAE have?

te up to 80 gigawatts (GW) of generation capacity. The Western and Southwestern part of the UAE with an area of about 16.500 km2 offers moderate wind conditions with a mean wind speed of at least 7.5 m/s at 150 m height. State-of-the art wind turbines for moderate wind conditions have a generation capacity of up to

How many wind turbines could be deployed in UAE in 2021?

outs, around 11.200 wind turbines could be deployed. Even when sing only 60% of the area with mean wind speed above7.5 m/s, the onshore wind energy potential would still be higher than he total electricity consumption of the UAE in 2021.The offshore wind energy potential in the UAE is limited
