A study reveals HVAC systems can generate clean energy using small vertical wind turbines, potentially producing 513.82 MWh annually.

The ability of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to produce clean electrical energy was investigated in a recent study.

Results showed that the concept, tested at a data center in Colombia, can produce about 468 MWh per year from a single location.It’s critical to first determine which airflows are appropriate for producing electricity from artificial wind flows. Air from moving ships at sea, railroads, and HVAC systems—all of which provide constant airflow—are a few examples.

Research framework: Identify wind-generating activities, collect wind speed/direction data, analyze wind resources, select tech, and calculate energy. The compact size and lightweight design of the “Tesup V7,” which has a nominal output of 9 kW, led to its selection. Six turbines that are mounted atop the chillers and use clamps for simple installation may produce a combined 513.82 MWh annually, with each turbine having an annual output of 85.64 MWh.The study shows that with two chillers continuously operating, the system is equivalent to six wind turbines generating 513.82 MWh.
