Design and Analysis of optimized Mast Structure for a Blade-less Wind Turbine

Mast is the foundation body in a bladeless wind turbine, its interaction with fluid (air or water) generates vibrations that in turn harvest usable electricity. Care must be taken while designing the structure of mast, in order to have an efficient generation of electricity. Having an optimum design of mast not only increases efficiency but also ensures the stability and longevity of the entire bladeless wind turbine system.This article focuses on the design and analysis of various mast on a number of various parameters in order to obtain an optimum design and structure of the mast. The design was analysed using "Ansys® Mechanical" 2020R2, the results and comparison has been provided in this article.
