In the past couple of years, the transition to green energy has become one of the goals of the European Union, with the aim of ensuring an improvement in the people’s quality of life, while considering the need to protect the environment. With this in mind, innovation in the past couple of years had strived to improve and bring forth solution which are friendly to the environment, and furthermore, even reinvent what we perceive as power sources, in order to use accessible resources without creating more waste. In this context, this paper studies an experimental model of a small wind turbine powered by wind currents generated from intense traffic on highways. The goal of the proposed prototype is a green alternative to energy production that can help light posts along the road or provide electricity for potential charging stations. The proposed methodology is the result of a combination of the study of the need for such a solution in the current market context and the design and implementation of the proposed solution.
