    Methodology of Wind Turbine

    Uploaded by

    Shivendra Yadav
    This document outlines a mini project on designing a wind turbine. It discusses the objectives of optimized aerodynamic design to maximize efficiency and minimize costs, how wind energy is clean and sustainable as winds are caused by solar heating, and how land-based wind power is cost-effective at 1-2 cents per kilowatt-hour. The solution approach involves building large wind farms with many turbines to generate electricity. Constraints include the unpredictability of wind, threats to wildlife from rotating blades, noise issues, and location limitations requiring strong, reliable winds.

    MINI PROJECT BASED ON WIND TURBINE

    PROBLEM STATEMENT: Conventional energy sources can cause several


    different types of pollution. Some of the most common ones are air pollution,
    acid rain, and greenhouse gasses. As a result of fossil fuel combustion,
    chemicals and particulates are released into the atmosphere.

    OBJECTIVES:
    1.Wind turbines are designed for optimized operation for a given set of
    environmental conditions. Good aerodynamic design of turbine blades
    increases the power extracted from the wind stream and thus maximizes the
    efficiency, while minimizing the cost of wind energy conversion.

    2. It's a clean fuel source. Wind energy doesn't pollute the air like power
    plants that rely on combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, which
    emit particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide—causing human
    health problems and economic damages. Wind turbines don't produce
    atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain, smog, or greenhouse gases.

    3. It's sustainable. Wind is actually a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by
    the heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the rotation of the Earth, and the
    Earth's surface irregularities. For as long as the sun shines and the wind blows,
    the energy produced can be harnessed to send power across the grid.

    4. Wind power is cost-effective. Land-based utility-scale wind is one of the


    lowest-priced energy sources available today, costing 1–2 cents per kilowatt-
    hour after the production tax credit. Because the electricity from wind farms is
    sold at a fixed price over a long period of time (e.g. 20+ years) and its fuel is
    free, wind energy mitigates the price uncertainty that fuel costs add to
    traditional sources of energy.

    SOLUTION APPROACH: The terms "wind energy" and "wind power"


    both describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical
    power or electricity. For utility-scale (megawatt-sized) sources of wind energy,
    a large number of wind turbines are usually built close together to form a wind
    plant, also referred to as a wind farm. Several electricity providers today use
    wind plants to supply power to their customers.

    CONSTRAINTS:
    1. 1. Unpredictable

    Perhaps the biggest disadvantage to wind energy is that it cannot be produced


    consistently. Energy will only be produced when the wind blows.

    2. Threat to wildlife

    Wind energy does not cause environmental problems through greenhouse gas
    emissions, however, turbines can have an impact on wildlife. Birds, bats, and
    other flying creatures have slim chances of surviving when taking a direct hit
    from a rotating wind turbine blade.

    3.Noise

    Noise is a problem for some people that live in the proximity of wind turbines.
    The generator within the turbine makes a mechanical hum, while the blades
    create a “whooshing” sound as they move through the air.

    4.Location limitations

    In order for wind turbines to be economically viable, they need to be installed


    in a place where they will produce enough electricity. Wind farms are best
    suited for coastal areas, the tops of hills, and open planes - essentially
    anywhere with strong, reliable wind.
