Abstract

The turbulent airflow caused by vehicular movement on highways is a source of kinetic energy for wind energy (WE) that can be utilized to power highway lighting and communications. The purpose of the current work is to design, install and measure the extent of benefit from small wind turbines along a Highway (HW) in one of the governorates of Iraq - Dohuk. In this investigation, wind speed measurements are close to a significant HW on the Dohuk-Zakho-Iraq (DZI) Road. The three positional characteristics are examined for the wind turbines' optimal position. These factors are heights above ground level, lateral distances from the road shoulder, and the wind turbines' highway-facing orientation. It is possible to supply electrical power for side lighting of external roads via vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT), which are produced from disturbances in air movement. In addition, a battery pack has been used to store energy to sustain fluctuations caused by stopped vehicle traffic and to ensure load operation in the event of a wind turbine stop. A 500W capacity vertical axis windmill is being worked on. The suggested landscaping technique has generated exceptional and long-lasting effects for a price of under 350 US dollars.

Keywords: Dohuk-Zakho-Iraq, Wind Energy, Highway, Blades, Vertical Axis Wind Turbines.
