3. Introduction
A wind turbine is a machine that uses the power of wind to generate electricity.
Wind turbines are the modern version of windmills and can be used in a variety of
ways.
Wind power or wind energy a form of renewable energy that harnesses the power of
the wind to generate electricity.
Wind provides around 1% of of the worlds electricity.
Its convert kinetic energy into electrical energy.
4. Objective
• Our objective is to utilize wind energy for the generation electricity.
• A small scale windmill (wind turbine) can generate electricity if coupled
with a generator and exposed to fast blowing winds.
5. Scope of work
According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), the
total installed capacity of Wind Energy in India is 41.2 GW (as of
September 2022).
They must be able to diagnose and repair problems.
Wind technicians maintain, troubleshoot, and repair the mechanical,
hydraulic, braking, and electrical systems of a turbine.
6. Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
• VAWT requires low cost investment and less space for the installation
compared to HAWT
• The rotational axis of vertical axis wind turbine is perpendicular to the
direction of wind.
• It can produce electricity at
low wind speed.
7. Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
• Highly skilled labors are required to install the horizontal axis wind turbine.
• The production cost is low
when generating higher volume
of electricity.
• The horizontal axis wind turbine
are most suitable for sea
shores, hill tops .
8. Foundation
• This is a large, heavy structural block .
• Its made of concrete in the ground that supports the entire turbine.
9. Turbine blade
Turbine blade size: length = 2.5 feet
Turbine blade material =PLASTIC PIPE
The average width C = 4 to 5 inches
Radius R=1.5feet
10. DC Motor
• A DC Motor is an electrical device that converts electrical energy into
mechanical energy.
• When a current is applied to the armature through a rotary electric
switch called a commentator.
11. Tower
• The tower supports the structure of the turbine.
• We used steel material.
• Height of tower 280feets
• The tower also contains the power cables that connect the the nacelle to
the transformer on the ground.
12. Working
• Rotor blades :The blades are similar to airplane wings or helicopter rotor
blades. As wind flows across the blades, the air pressure on one side
decreases, creating lift and drag
• Rotor :The rotor connects to the generator, either directly or through a
gearbox. The gearbox speeds up the rotation and allows for a smaller
generator.
13. • Generator :The generator uses electromagnetic induction to produce
voltage, which drives electrical current. The current is usually alternating
current (AC) power.
• Nacelle : The nacelle is the box beside the blades that contains the shaft
and generator.
14. Advantages
• Wind power is abundant and cheap.
• Wind turbines can generate power day and night.
• Wind farms can produce large amount of power.
• Pollution free
• Renewable source of energy
15. Disadvantages
• Wind is unreliable and may stop blowing without notice.
• Wind turbines need to be in areas with winds.
• Urban areas can be expensive.
• Vibration issues.
