Study, design and manufacturing of hybrid vertical axis Savonius wind turbine for urban architecture

This paper presents Study, Design and Manufacturing of a Small Residential Renewable Energy Conversion System mainly based on a local manufactured Savonius-rotor type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine, equipped with Photovoltaic Panel and a Storage System (Battery). This system can be used both for remote area and for building integration. For remote area, this system can be adapted to guarantee uninterruptible electrical power supply, for that, it is recommended to be used in the Algerian East-West Highway for lighting and/or petrol station electrical equipments supply. The advantages of this design are cleanliness, start-up under low wind speed, silent, adaptability in urban architecture.
