Abstract

wind power is unquestionably beneficial Due to its total renewability and little greenhouse gas emissions. This study attempts to create a bladeless wind turbine made especially for cities, The methodology described in this study considers a unique wind power extraction technology known as "VBWT" that is based on the aeroelasticity phenomena known as vortex-induced vibrations (VIV), which originated in the study of flow-induced vibrations. It results from a bluff body that is subject to inertial, aerodynamic, and structural forces. Vortex Bladeless seeks to harness the induced oscillatory motion from vortex-produced vibrations to generate electricity innovatively. It’s an interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary Approach to generate electricity from wind Energy. VBWT requires less space, involves minimum maintenance, and is consequently economical. Using Ansys software, a numerical analysis was conducted to determine the forces influencing the VBWT. A Comparison between the earlier established model and the current model is performed.
