A Novel Power System of ENLIL Turbine for Optimal Energy Generation

In modern times, renewable energy is gaining significant popularity owing to its environmental and economic benefits. Since the continuous decline in the storage of fossil fuels, it is essential to shift the attention to renewable sources. ENLIL setup is one of the options where the attention can be switched. In this study, the feasibility of this alternative power generation option is checked along with several structural analyses in Rajshahi highways. SOLIDWORKS 2019 is used primarily for modeling. CFD and FEA analysis methods are used for structural analysis which are developed in ANSYS fluent software. For getting the residual values, SST k-ε turbulence model is used. When wind velocity is maximum at 5.5 m/s, maximum turbine velocity can be 7.31 m/s. The minimum and maximum pressure imposed on rotor blade are -48.64 Pa and 31.79 Pa. Moment on blade tip is 1.6556e-02 Nm. The maximum deformation of blade is found 0.0029937 mm. The minimum and maximum elastic strain calculated from the von Mises equation is 2.5391e-29 and 2.0773e-6 mm/mm. The maximum stress calculated from the von Mises equation is 0.14683 MPa. Keeping these properties in consideration, Aluminum alloy is used as blade material. Several data are recorded to find out developed solar and wind turbine power placing the ENLIL setup at the island of the highway. Found that almost 200 Wh power is produced by the proposed model. By the energy, street or signal lights can be energised. This setup can function as a viable method of generating electricity, which could significantly impact the energy infrastructure of Bangladesh.
