BACKGROUND

[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
[0003] The demand for renewable energy sources has been increasing due to the need for sustainable and environmentally friendly power generation methods. One area of focus has been harnessing wind energy usi , Claims:1. An electricity generation system (100) using a rooftop ventilator, comprising:
a rooftop ventilator configured to induce airflow through a building's ventilation system;
a vertical axis wind turbine mounted on top of the rooftop ventilator;
a generator coupled to the wind turbine to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy; and
a control unit for managing the operation of the wind turbine and generator, ensuring efficient energy conversion and real-time monitoring of system performance.

2. The system (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the vertical axis wind turbine is designed to operate efficiently in turbulent wind conditions.

3. The system (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit directs the generated electricity to a storage system or directly to the building's power grid.

4. The system (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rooftop ventilator enhances the performance of the vertical axis wind turbine by inducing additional airflow.
