CONTENTS• Why Renewable Energy• Introduction• Types of Wind Energy Conversion devices• Various parts in a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine- propeller type• Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine • Wind Turbine Control Systems• Output Power of wind turbine• Pitch angle and Tip-speed ratio(equations)• Drive Train Subsystem• Layout of Wind Farm• Result• Conclusion
•As a result of increasing environmental concern, the impact of conventional electricity generation on the environment is being minimized and efforts are being made to generate electricity from renewable sources. •One way of generating electricity from renewable sources is to use wind turbines that convert the energy contained in flowing air into electricity.
1. Horizontal axis wind turbine a.) Dutch-type grain grinding windmills. b.) Multi-blade water-pumping windmills. c.) High speed propeller type windmills.
2. Vertical axis wind turbine a.) The Savonius rotor. b.) The Darrieus rotor.
Advantages of HAWT: • Variable blade pitch. • The tall tower base allows access to stronger wind in sites with wind shear. • High efficiency.
Disadvantages of HAWT: •Difficult to transport as tall towers and blades are long. • Massive tower construction is required to support the heavy blades, gearbox, and generator. • Requires an additional yaw control mechanism to turn the blades toward the wind.
Advantages of VAWT • Easily mounted with the lower bearing (mounted near the ground). • No need of yaw mechanisms. • Easier to maintain the moving parts as located nearer the to ground. • Has lower wind start-up speeds than HAWTs. Typically, they start creating electricity at 6 M.P.H. (10 km/h).
Disadvantages of VAWT • Efficiency is lesser than that of HAWTs (because of the additional drag.)• Maintenance is expensive• Drag may be created when the blade rotates into the wind.
