J0540101 Estimation on Amount of Power Generated by Wind Power Plant Utilizing Wind Blowing through Buildings Consisting of Smart City

Abstract

The aim of this study is to design and propose the size and layout of buildings which provide the better wind distribution for the higher power generation of wind turbine. A building model whose layout is like nozzle is proposed to obtain the acceleration of wind blowing through buildings due to contracted flow between buildings, hi addition, the effect of the angle between two buildings on the power generation performance of the proposed building model is also investigated. For the feasibility check of installing the building model in some area actually, the power energy of wind turbine is investigated by considering the meteorological data such as wind velocity and direction distribution for Fukushima city as an example. If the proposed building model whose angle between two buildings is 135 degree is installed in Fukushima city, the ratio of power energy generated by wind turbine to electric consumption of households in a year is estimated to be approximately 21-22%.
