Wind Turbine Size
For a given survivable wind speed, the mass of a turbine is approximately proportional to the cube of its blade-length. Wind power intercepted by the turbine is proportional to the…
Power Control of Wind Turbine
A wind turbine is designed to produce a maximum of power at wide spectrum of wind speeds. All wind turbines are designed for a maximum wind speed, called the survival…
Wind Turbine Aerodynamics Design
The wind turbine aerodynamics of a horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT) are not straightforward. The air flow at the blades is not the same as the airflow further away from the turbine. The…
Design Specification of Wind Turbine
The design specification for a wind-turbine will contain a power curve and guaranteed availability. With the data from the wind resource assessment it is possible to calculate commercial viability. The…
Wind Turbine Design and Construction
Wind turbines are designed to exploit the wind energy that exists at a location. Aerodynamic modeling is used to determine the optimum tower height, control systems, number of blades and…
Types of Wind Turbine
A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity, the device may be called a wind generator orwind…
Advantages of Wind Power Plant
Today, wind energy is an advanced and sophisticated technology, which belongs to the most economical renewable energy sources. The costs of energy production have been reduced by more than 50…
Electricity Generation of Wind Power Plant
In a wind farm or wind power plant, individual turbines are interconnected with a medium voltage (often 34.5 kV), power collection system and communications network. At a substation, this medium-voltage electrical current is…
Wind Power Plant
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy, such as using wind turbines to make electricity (wind power plant), wind mills for mechanical power, wind pumps for…
Wind Energy
The Earth is unevenly heated by the sun, such that the poles receive less energy from the sun than the equator; along with this, dry land heats up (and cools…
