摘要

As global energy consumption rises and the drive toward net-zero carbon emissions intensifies, integrating renewable energy into urban environments has become essential for sustainable development. This paper presents feasibility research of Building-Integrated Wind Turbine (BIWT) using axial-flux permanent-magnet generators in high-rise buildings. Wind energy, though highly efficient, is often generated in remote areas, leading to energy losses and high transmission costs. BIWT systems offer a solution by harnessing the wind speeds available at urban high-rise buildings, reducing reliance on traditional power grids and minimizing energy transmission losses. Our team conducted wind tunnel tests to simulate urban wind conditions and evaluate the power generation potential of BIWT systems. Additionally, wind speed and direction monitoring equipment was installed on selected buildings for real-time data collection. By utilizing IoT technologies, this data is analyzed in the backend to optimize the operational efficiency of the system. The results demonstrate the potential of BIWT systems to provide localized, renewable energy for urban areas.
