Abstract: This research targets the design of an Electric car with wind turbine that will be installed to generate electrical power to charge the batteries when in motion. This wind powered car will have a wind turbine on its backside. During motion the wind flowing through wind ducts will rotate the turbine. This rotary movement is transferred to the mechanical component which will convert rotatory motion into electric energy. Along with the concept of wind turbine, Regenerative braking systems help to lower consumption in hybrid vehicles and reduce their carbon footprint. They can also increase the range of electric vehicles. Regenerative Braking System is the way of slowing vehicle by using the motors as brakes. Instead of the surplus energy of the vehicle being wasted as unwanted heat, the motors act as generators and return some of it to the overhead wires as electricity.
Keywords: Wind Turbine, Regenerative Braking System, Electric car, Carbon footprint, Green energy.
I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Wind Turbine
It is a device that converts kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used for electricity production, wind generators. The wind turbine may be divided into two main categories: the vertical and horizontal axis turbine ballet.
The right to receive the maximum amount of wind energy to electric vehicle power turbine is designed. Calculation of power produced by the wind, a significant amount of power (approximately 4.57 kW) to the battery, when the vehicle speed is 120 km / h will be restored.
