The new integrated bus terminus (IBT), coming up at Panjapur on the Tiruchi-Madurai Highway, will have a wind tree.
This 30-foot-tall micro wind turbine is designed to mimic trees, generating the electricity.
Unlike the traditional wind turbine, which requires the wind velocity of 7 km per hour to generate electricity,the wind tree can do it with wind velocity of just 2.5 km per hour.
The wind tree will have 10 KW capacity per hour, thereby generating 240 KW of power in a day.
It will be the first wind tree in these parts of the region.
