The market has been further segmented on the basis of types of small wind turbines such as horizontal axis wind turbine and vertical axis wind turbine. A wind turbine works like a high-tech version of an old-fashioned windmill.
In this kit we are using vertical axis wind mill. The terms wind energy or wind power describes the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity.

McCalley Anemometer: Measures the wind speed and transmits wind speed data to the controller. Download the PDF seminar report titled discuss the designs and operations of various types of Vertical axis wind turbines. Vertical axis wind turbines are advocated as being capable of catching the wind from all directions and do not need yaw mechanisms, rudders or downwind coming.
Their electrical generators can be positioned close to the ground, and hence easily accessible. A disadvantage is that some designs are not self-starting. New concepts of vertical axis wind machines are being introduced such as the helical types particularly for use in urban environments where they would be considered safer due to their lower rotational speeds avoiding the risk of blade ejection and since they can catch the wind from all directions.
We have also uploaded DIY projects along with the PDF seminar reports, which will help you in building your own Vertical axis wind turbines. The project report titled Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Evaluation and Design studied the potential for installing roof-mounted vertical axis wind turbine. VAWT systems on house roofs. The project designed several types of VAWT blades with the goal of maximizing the efficiency of a shrouded turbine. A typical nuclear power plant generates 1, megawatts. Mountains can create mountain breezes at night, because of the cooler air flowing down the mountain and being heated by the warmer valley air causing a convection current.
Valleys are affected in much the same way. In the daytime, the cooler air is above the valleys and the hot air is above the mountains. The hot air above the mountain rises above the valleys and cools, thus creating a convection current in the opposite direction and creating a valley wind. The oceans create convection currents, as well as they mountains or valleys.
In the day, the hotter air is above the same and the cooler air is above the ocean. The air heats up over the sand and rises above the ocean and then cools, creating the convection current. At night, the cooler air is above the sand and the warmer air is above the ocean, so the air heats up over the ocean and cools over the sand.
As you can clearly see, the time of day also affects the wind. We know that for windmills to operate there must be wind, but how do they work? Actually there are two types of windmills -- the horizontal axis windmills and the vertical axis windmills.
The horizontal axis windmills primarily rely on lift from the wind. As stated in Bernoulli's Principle, "a fluid will travel from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure. This design increases the velocity of the air on top of the blade thus decreasing its density and causing the air on the bottom of the blade to go towards the top The blades are angled on the axis as to utilize the lift in the rotation.
The blades on modern wind turbines are designed for maximum lift and minimal drag. Drag is resistance to the wind, like a brick wall. The blades on vertical axis windmills are designed to give resistance to the wind and are as a result pushed by the wind. Windmills, both vertical and horizontal axis, have many uses. Some of them are: hydraulic pump, motor, air pump, oil pump, churning, creating friction, heat director, electric generator, Freon pump, and can also be used as a centrifugal pump.
There are many types of windmills, such as: the tower mill, sock mill, sail windmill, water pump, spring mill, multi-blade, Darrieus, savonis, cyclo-turbine, and the classic four-arm windmill. All of the above windmills have their advantages. Some windmills, like the sail windmill, are relatively slow moving, have a low tip speed ratio and are not very energy efficient compared to the cyclo-turbine, but are much cheaper and money is the great equalizer.
Windmills have been equipped with air breaks, to control speed in strong winds. Some vertical axis windmills have even been equipped with hinged blades to avoid the stresses at high wind speeds. Some windmills, like the cyclo-turbine, have been equipped with a vane that senses wind direction and causes the rotor to rotate into the wind.
Wind turbine generators have been equipped with gearboxes to control [shaft] speeds. However, Europeans had been experimenting with curved blades on vertical wind turbines for many decades before this. Wind turbines have also been equipped with generators which convert shaft power into electrical power. Many of the sails on windmills have also been replaced with propeller-like airfoils. Some windmills can also stall in the wind to control wind speed.
But above all of these improvements, the most important improvement to the windmill was made in when the fantail was invented. The fantail automatically rotates the sails into the wind.
Another variable of the windmill's efficiency is its swept area. The swept area of a disk--shaped wind wheel is calculated as: Area equals pi times diameter squared divided by four pi equals 3. Another variable in the productivity of a windmill is the wind speed.
The wind speed is measured by an anemometer. Savonius and other vertical-axis machines are good at pumping water and other high torque, low rpm applications and are not usually connected to electric power grids. Another necessity for a windmill is the tower. There are many types of towers. Some towers have guy wire to support them and others don't. Towers are also subject to drag. Scientists estimate that, by the 21st Century, ten percent of the world's electricity will come from windmills.
The turbine consists of a number of aerofoils, usually—but not always—vertically mounted on a rotating shaft or framework, either ground stationed or tethered in airborne systems.
The earliest mention is by the Italian Bishop of Czanad, who was also an engineer. He wrote in his book Machinae novae about several vertical axis wind turbines with curved or V-shaped blades. None of his or any other earlier examples reached the state of development made by Savonius.
In his Finnish biography there is mention of his intention to develop a turbine-type similar to the Flettner-type, but autorotationary. He experimented with his rotor on small rowing vessels on lakes in his country. The Savonius turbine is one of the simplest turbines. Savonius turbines are used whenever cost or reliability is much more important than efficiency. Most anemometers are Savonius turbines for this reason, as efficiency is irrelevant to the application of measuring wind speed.
Much larger Savonius turbines have been used to generate electric power on deep-water buoys, which need small amounts of power and get very little maintenance. Design is simplified because, unlike with horizontal axis wind turbines HAWTs , no pointing mechanism is required to allow for shifting wind direction and the turbine is self-starting. They can sometimes have long helical scoops, to give smooth torque. The most ubiquitous application of the Savonius wind turbine is the Flettner Ventilator, which is commonly seen on the roofs of vans and buses and is used as a cooling device.
The ventilator was developed by the German aircraft engineer Anton Flettner in the s. It uses the Savonius wind turbine to drive an extractor fan. Small Savonius wind turbines are sometimes seen used as advertising signs where the rotation helps to draw attention to the item advertised.
They sometimes feature a simple two- frame animation. Looking down on the rotor from above, a two-scoop machine would look like an "S" shape in cross section. Because of the curvature, the scoops experience less drag when moving against the wind than when moving with the wind. The differential drag causes the Savonius turbine to spin. Because they are drag-type devices, Savonius turbines extract much less of the wind's power than other Much of the swept area of a Savonius rotor may be near the ground, if it has a small mount without an extended post, making the overall energy extraction less effective due to the lower wind speeds found at lower heights.
The wind turbine only generates power with the wind. The wind rotates the axis horizontal or vertical and causes the shaft on the generator to sweep past the magnetic coils creating an electric current. Blade Length This is important because the length of the blade is directly proportional to the swept area. Larger blades have a greater swept area and thus catch more wind with each revolution. Because of this, they may also have more torque.
Base Height The height of the base affects the windmill immensely. The higher a windmill is, the more productive it will be due to the fact that as the altitude increases so does the winds speed. Base Design Some base is stronger than others. Base is important in the construction of the windmill because not only do they have to support the windmill, but they must also be subject to their own weight and the drag of the wind.
If a weak tower is subject to these elements, then it will surely collapse. Therefore, the base must be identical so as to insure a fair comparison. High annual average wind speed The wind velocity is the critical parameter. The winds tends to have higher velocities at higher altitudes. Local Ecology If the surface is bare rock it may mean lower hub heights hence lower structure cost, if trees or grass or ventation are present. All of which tends to destructure the wind. Nature of ground Ground condition should be such that the foundations for WECs are secured, ground surface should be stable.
Favorable land cost Land cost should be favorable as this along with other sitting costs, enters into the total WECS system cost. The temperature gradients are due to uneven solar heating. In fact, the equatorial region is more irradiated than the polar ones.
Consequently, the warmer and lighter air of the equatorial region rises to the outer layers of the atmosphere and moves towards the poles, being replaced at the lower layers by a return flow of cooler air coming from the Polar Regions.
This air circulation is also affected by the Coriolis forces associated with the rotation of the Earth. In fact, these forces deflect the upper flow towards the east and the lower flow towards the west. Actually, the effects of differential heating dwindle for latitudes greater than 30 o N and 30 o S, where westerly winds predominate due to the rotation of the Earth.
These large-scale air flows that take place in all the atmosphere constitute the geotropic winds.
