TL;DR: In this article, a three-blade horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) and a Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) have been designed with CATIA software and constructed using a 3D-printing method.
Abstract: As the demand for green technology is rising rapidly worldwide, it is important that Malaysian researchers take advantage of Malaysia’s windy climates and areas to initiate more power generation projects using wind. The main objectives of this study are to build a functional wind turbine and to compare the performance of two types of design for wind turbine under different speeds and behaviours of the wind. A three-blade horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) and a Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) have been designed with CATIA software and constructed using a 3D-printing method. Both wind turbines have undergone series of tests before the voltage and current output from the wind turbines are collected. The result of the test is used to compare the performance of both wind turbines that will imply which design has the best efficiency and performance for Malaysia’s tropical climate. While HAWT can generate higher voltage (up to 8.99 V at one point), it decreases back to 0 V when the wind angle changes. VAWT, however, can generate lower voltage (1.4 V) but changes in the wind angle does not affect its voltage output at all. The analysis has proven that VAWT is significantly more efficient to be built and utilized for Malaysia’s tropical and windy climates. This is also an initiative project to gauge the possibility of building wind turbines, which could be built on the extensive and windy areas surrounding Malaysian airports.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the present status of urban wind farm technology and its commercial and environmental aspects and conclude that further investigation of wind mapping and the suitable design of turbines is essential to make the urban wind farms a reliable and feasible option for decentralized power generation.
Abstract: Wind energy is a promising scheme in the power generation sector due to pollution-free power production and wind resources’ sufficiency worldwide. Installing wind turbines in all the possible extents can mitigate the rising energy demand. Built-up areas possess high potential for wind energy, including the rooftop of high-rise buildings, railway track, the region between or around multistoried buildings, and city roads. Harnessing wind energy from these areas is quite challenging since it has dramatic nature and turbulence for higher roughness on urban surfaces. This review paper endeavors to highlight the present status of urban wind farm technology and its commercial and environmental aspects. Observations and upcoming research trends have been presented based on up-to-the-minute information. It is concluded that further investigation of wind mapping and the suitable design of turbines is essential to make the urban wind farm a reliable and feasible option for decentralized power generation.

TL;DR: A review of using hybrid of solar tracker and vertical wind mill is proposed and it is proposed that these resources should be used in efficient and smart manner.
Abstract: The requirement of electrical energy is increasing in domestic as well as industrial applications. To meet the necessity of energy more resources are needed and furthermore environmental health should be taken care of. Due to use of conventional sources such as petroleum and coal, environment is debasing. As electric energy is the most reliable source of energy, generation of electric energy by using natural or non-conventional resources such as wind and solar energy is necessary. For generating more and more energy these resources should be used in efficient and smart manner. For that purpose this paper proposes a review of using hybrid of solar tracker and vertical wind mill.

TL;DR: The current status of wind energy research in Malaysia is reviewed and different contributing factors such as potentiality and assessments, wind speed and direction modeling, wind prediction and spatial mapping, and optimal sizing of wind farms are extensively discussed.
Abstract: In recent years, wind energy has gained extensive attention in the recent years in various countries due to the high energy demand of energy and shortage of traditional electric energy sources. Because wind energy constitutes a cost effective and environmentally friendly source, it can significantly contribute toward the reduction of the ever-increasing carbon emissions. It is one of the fastest growing green technologies worldwide, with a total generation share of 564 GW as of the end of 2018. In Malaysia, wind energy has been a hot topic in both academia and green energy industry. In this paper, the current status of wind energy research in Malaysia is reviewed. Different contributing factors such as potentiality and assessments, wind speed and direction modeling, wind prediction and spatial mapping, and optimal sizing of wind farms are extensively discussed. This paper discusses the progress of all studies related to wind energy and presents conclusions and recommendations for improving wind energy research in Malaysia.
