This thesis proposal outlines a comparative study and design of custom-constructed wind augmentation shrouds to enhance the power output of wind turbines. The research aims to overcome the Betz limit by improving wind capture and accelerating airflow through the turbine blades. The study involves designing and analyzing various shroud configurations, including different inlet angles and wind guide attachment shapes, using Creo Parametric 3.0 and SPSS Statistics 23. The project will involve 3D printing of the shroud designs and testing with an anemometer in a controlled environment. The research seeks to determine the optimal design for a wind augmentation shroud to maximize wind velocity and ultimately increase the efficiency of power generation from wind energy, contributing to cleaner and more sustainable energy production.
