This project focuses on electricity generation using a vertical axis wind turbine as the primary renewable energy source. The kinetic energy of wind is converted into mechanical rotation, which is then transformed into electrical energy. The generated power is fed into a charging circuit that regulates and stores the energy in a rechargeable battery. To utilize the stored DC power for conventional applications, an inverter circuit is employed to convert it into AC supply. The converted AC power is used to operate an AC bulb, demonstrating a sustainable and eco-friendly method of lighting. This system highlights the effective integration of renewable wind energy with energy storage and conversion techniques for small-scale power applications.
