Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine

This study is aimed to optimize the conversion of kinetic wind energy into electrical energy. Wind energy is a sustainable energy that is preferred to generate electricity for its low generation cost and low CO2 emissions. The considerations of physical principles of a horizontal axis wind turbine were involved in the study. Controlling of the blade angle deviation and the turbine rotation direction was also considered. For this purpose, a complete wind turbine system was setup by using the computerized simulation software (PSCAD). The system was running at five different cases with different wind speeds and different angles of the blade. The system was successfully generating a maximum output power from the wind turbine based on the changing of the deflection angle of the blade. Also the system would shut down if there were no matching between the wind speed and its direction with the angle of the blade.

Electrical Output

Some area in Indonesia such as southern part of Sumatra to Nusa Tenggara have big enough wind speed to produce electrical energy by using wind turbine. However, the potential resources are not yet fully developed, and only 1.4 GW electrical energy has been generating in the Indonesia region. Most of the wind energy generating equipment is designed to the European wind speed which is   10 - 30 knot. So, it is very important to modify the such equipment to be able to implement in Indonesia area which is have a lower wind speed.The purpose of this research is to know the influence of number of blades and wind speed to electricity generated by horizontal axis wind turbine with blade taper inversed linear.The result showed that the highest electrical output power was 2,02 watt produced by 5 blades and 3,5 m/s wind speed. The lowest electrical output power was 2,347 watt achieved by using 3 blades and 2,5 m/s wind speed.

Wind Energy Systems

Wind energy systems are energized by the naturally flowing wind, therefore it can be considered as a fresh source of energy. In addition, the wind energy is accessible as a domestic source of power in many countries worldwide and not bound to just a couple of nations, as on account of oil. However, the output of a wind turbine relies on upon the turbine's size and the wind's speed through the rotor. The amount of power created by the horizontal axis wind turbine is proportional to rotor area and power of wind velocity. In present paper the experimental and analytical study with finite element analysis has been carried out with considering dependent factors like wind speed, number of blades, size of blades to evaluate maximum output power. It is observed that, the eight numbers of blades with 1200mm diameter is more effective in terms of power output.

Critical Wind Speed

To improve the performances under low speed wind, a wind energy harvester similar to harmonicas was proposed. The harvester mainly includes a cuboid chamber and a cantilevered beam. The front wall of the chamber is opened as the air entrance and a rectangular hole is opened on the sidewall as the exit. The cantilever composed of a piezoelectric sheet and a flexible beam was fixed onto the sidewall of the chamber near the exit. Experimental results show that the width and height of the chamber significantly affect critical wind speed and output power, respectively. The initial attack angle of the cantilever has important influence on the critical wind speed. Blunt body at the air entrance could remarkably decrease the critical wind speed. For a prototype with a 60 mm×20 mm×13 mm chamber, the length of the cantilever of 30 mm and the length of the piezoelectric sheet of 8 mm, the measured maximum output power is 1.1 mW under 17 m/s wind.

Breaking Effect

This paper describes the development of a passive system to control the output power of a horizontal axis wind turbine. This pitch-flap coupling mechanism can reduce rotor power above rated wind speed. This mechanism has two kinds of blade motions: the flapping and the pitching motions. In this paper, braking effects are investigated experimentally. It is found that the breaking effect is improved when the ratio of pitch to flap motions is large. Also, the flow pattern around the wind turbine is investigated. It is found that the braking effects are caused by a couple of ring vortices.

A horizontal axis wind turbine design research has been carried out using an inverter. This study aims to generate the output power generated by the generator through an inverter. So that the use of an inverter can turn on the 10 watt lamp. From the research results obtained turbine rotation varied between 1357 rpm to 2415 rpm producing a generator voltage of 3.05 volts to 4.61 volts and generator currents 32mA up to 49 mA. The inverter produces a voltage of 16.57 volts up to 20.46 volts and an inverter current of 0.60 amperes up to 0.48 amperes. The greater the rotation of the wind turbine turbine, the greater the generator voltage generated and so is the voltage of the inverter. While the current will increase as the turbine rotation increases and the inverse of the inverter current will decrease as the turbine rotation increases.

Lift And Drag

In the present work, the study and design of a horizontal axis wind turbine suitable for the Cotonou site were investigated on the coast of Benin. A statistical study using the Weibull distribution was carried out on the hourly wind data measured at 10 m from the ground by the Agency for Air Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar (ASECNA) over the period from January 1981 to December 2014. Then, the models, techniques, tools and approaches used to design horizontal axis wind turbines were presented and the wind turbine components characteristics were determined. The numerical design and assembly of these components were carried out using SolidWorks software. The results revealed that the designed wind turbine has a power of 571W. It is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous generator and has three aluminum blades with NACA 4412 biconvex asymmetrical profile. The values obtained for the optimum coefficient of lift and drag are estimated at 1.196 and 0.0189 respectively. The blades are characterised by an attack optimum angle estimated at 6° and the wedge angle at 5°. Their length is 2.50 m and the maximum thickness is estimated at 0.032 m for a rope length of 0.27 m. The wind turbine efficiency is 44%. The computer program designed on SolidWorks gives three-dimensional views of the geometrical shape of the wind turbine components and their assembly has allowed to visualize the compact shape of the wind turbine after export via its graphical interface. The energy quantity that can be obtained from the wind turbine was estimated at 2712,718 kWh/year. This wind turbine design study is the first of its kind for the study area. In order to reduce the technological dependence and the import of wind energy systems, the results of this study could be used to produce lower cost wind energy available on our study site.

Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine

Wind energy is one of the renewable energy resources which is clean and sustainable energy and the wind turbine is used for harnessing energy from the wind. The blades are the key components of a wind turbine to convert wind energy into rotational energy. Recently, wingtip devices are used in the blades of horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT), which decreases the vortex and drag, while increases the lift and thereby improve the performance of the turbine. In the present study, a winglet is used at the tip of an NREL phase VI wind turbine blade. Solidworks, Pointwise, and Ansys-Fluent are used for geometric modeling, computational grid generation, and CFD simulation, respectively. The computational result obtained using SST k-ω turbulence modeling is well validated with the experimental data of NREL at 5 and 7 m/s of wind speeds. Numerical investigation of stall characteristics is carried out for wingleted blade at higher turbulence intensity (21% and 25%) and angle of attack (00 to 300 at 50 intervals) at 7 m/s wind speed. The result found that wingletd blade delay stall to 150 for both the cases of turbulence intensity. Increasing the turbulence intensity increases the lift coefficient at stall angle but drag coefficient also increases and thus a lower aerodynamic performance (CL/CD ratio = 13) is obtained. Wingleted blade improves the performance as the intensity of vortices is smaller compared to baseline blade
