THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

This chapter presents the following elements of the study; the introduction, which contains

the rationale; the statement of the problem; the scope and delimitation, which identifies the major

variables and sub-variables; the significance of the study which indicates the corresponding

benefits to one another and where we indicate the beneficiaries of this study; and lastly, the

notations.

Introduction

Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into more useful forms, usually electricity

using wind turbines. In 2005, worldwide capacity of wind-powered generators was 58,982

megawatts, their production making up less than 1% of world-wide electricity use. Although still

a relatively minor source of electricity for most countries, it accounts for 23% of electricity use

in Denmark, 4.3% in Germany and around 8% in Spain. Globally, wind power generation more

than quadrupled between 1999 and 2005. Most modern wind power is generated in the form

of electricity by converting the rotation of turbine blades into electrical current by means of an

electrical generator. In windmills (a much older technology) wind energy is used to turn

mechanical machinery to do physical work, like crushing grain or pumping water.

Wind energy development is booming worldwide with China and the United States being

forerunners in installed capacity. Wind power capacity additions are growing at a rapid pace in the

8|Page
United States. The U.S. wind industry now totals 51,630MW, according to the U.S. Department

of Energy (DOE, 2013) and American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), and more than 40,000

turbines utilized through the end of September 2012 (AWEA, 2013). Because of the developing

wind power investment, an efficient way of managing wind energy generation is needed. A

custom-made wind tunnel attachment may increase the amount of energy produced by a wind

turbine. This study will investigate whether a custom designed wind tunnel attachment is a suitable

apparatus to increase the wind power output or not.

Statement of the Problem

The Researchers want to determine how this Mini Wind Turbine Power Generation Project

generates.

Wind power is used in large scale wind farms for national electrical grids as well as in

small individual turbines for providing electricity in isolated locations. Wind energy is abundant,

renewable, widely distributed, cleans, and mitigates the greenhouse effect if it is used to replace

fossil-fuel-derived electricity.

This sought to answer the following Questions:

1. How does the Mini Turbine Power Generation Project operate?

2. Is this Mini Turbine Power Generation Project able to produce electricity?

3. How many Electricity did this Mini Turbine Power Generation Project can

produce?

4. Does this Mini Turbine Power Generation Project can make the outlet active in

electricity?

9|Page
 5. What are the specific things that this Mini Turbine Power Generation Project

operates?

Scope and Delimitation

This analysis focuses on the essential of these Mini Wind Turbine Power Generation

Project as an Alternative sources of electricity and different kinds of tests that will be used in the

experimentation if there is any difference or changes among the said variables.

Since we’re isolated, the procedures will take place inside the households of the

researchers, specifically in the backyard where the tools in conducting the experiment are present.

The researchers will repeat the experiment two (2) times for each variable in the SOP to have

accurate data to test if there is a constant change in the product.

Significance of the Study

Wind turbines do not release emissions that can pollute the air or water (with rare

exceptions), and they do not require water for cooling. Wind turbines may also reduce the amount

of electricity generation from fossil fuels, which results in lower total air pollution and carbon

dioxide emissions. The result of this experiment could be highly significant beneficial specifically

to the following:

knowledge ahead from the parents.

Parents:

The parents will be one of the beneficiaries of the given study. This study will contribute

to them because with this, they will surely have enough knowledge on how to build or formulate

a wind turbine. Parents will also have an idea on how they can save electric energy. Also Parents

can help the researchers on how they will gather the materials needed on the project.

Environment:

Our environment is the uttermost beneficiary of this study. With the application of this

scheme, the people in the community will have an idea on how to save money and to lessen the

amount of electric energy they consume. The environment will benefit in this study in a way that

this project does not produce any pollution that can contribute to the community in protecting the

environment to the people who are abusing it.

Students:

The student will benefit from this study. This study will contribute to them. Because with

this, students will have knowledge about this project. We all know that the students nowadays can

learn anything when they want it, so that if the students have an interest with this study they can

make this project even more meaningful and they can make another project if they want to.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

This chapter helps in familiarizing information that are relevant and similar to the present

study, it tackles the different concept, ideas and generalization or conclusions about Mini Wind

Turbine Power Generation Project primarily present different researches and other literatures from

both foreign and local researches which have significant bearing on the variables included in the

research.

Related Literature (3 per variable)

Wind is not a new terminology for humans. Mankind has been using wind that can be traced back

to 3000 years. In earlier times, humans were mostly using wind for agricultural, irrigation and

navigation. However, fossil fuels were the main source of power production. In the 19th

century, commercial exploration shifted from coal to petroleum. Coal and natural gas are still

considered the most common and cheapest form of power production in the wind. Many scientists

and researchers consider wind as a potential resource for meeting future’s electricity demands.

The damaging effects caused by the burning of fossil fuels started the need for alternative sources

of power generation. Social and eco-environment consciousness spread around many countries

demanding for new reliable and clean sources of energy. That was the beginning of research and

development in the wind industry which continue to flourish till today. Wind power is an

13 | P a g e
alternative resource to coal, petroleum and nuclear energy which is more abundant, renewable,

widely distributed and has fewer damaging effects on the environment.

Wind is the result of an air pressure gradient. It is generated due to the changes in the temperature

of different areas. Land and sea have different compositions which give them unique

temperature characteristics. Generally, more wind is available on sea as compared to the land.

Wind turbine is a machine that utilizes wind power and converts it into electric power. Wind is fed

into the mechanically driven shaft that rotates and produces electricity. The output of electricity

depends upon the available wind speed. Wind speed varies very significantly in each hour of the

day but the average wind speed remains consistent throughout each day. This average wind speed

is used for performance and output power calculations. Therefore wind turbines are always used

in conjunction with some electric power source to stabilize the output.

14 | P a g e
Related Studies (3 per variable)

In recent years, implementing renewable energies has moderate to strong support across the world.

Some types of renewable energies such as hydropower are considered to be fully developed, and

others such as solar power are limited to specific regions [1]. Wind power has been used for more

than two thousand years; windmills were capturing wind power since 200 Bc using a constant

speed rotor assembly [2]. Wind power as a free, abundant, globally available, and green energy

source is an obvious choice among all renewable energy sources for generation of electricity [3].

Figure 1 shows the world’s total cumulative installed wind power capacity between 1991 and 2012,

and Fig. 2 shows the shares of five continents in the total installed wind power capacity between

2002 and 2012 [1, 4–7]. The average annual growth in the total installed wind power capacity in

the last ten years has been 25 % per year, and it is expected that the cumulative installed wind

power capacity would pass 400 GW by 2015. It is also anticipated that 12 % of the world’s

electricity consumption will be provided by wind power by 2020 [7].

Wind energy converters are not a new technology and have been utilised for mainly mechanical

applications such as grain crushing since 644 A.D. (first reliable information from historical

sources; as cited ‘Hau, 2000’) Windmills were first used in the ancient area of Seistan ( Persia,

Afghanistan ) and primitive machines are still being used today in the region for grain processing.

The first windmills were vertical axis turbines which used sails around a pivot to create mechanical

power. Centuries after the Persian windmill technology was documented news of the Chinese

utilising wind mills to drain their rice paddies of water reached Europe. Whether or not the Chinese

had already been utilising the windmill or a run-off of a wind mill before the Persians can no longer

15 | P a g e
be determined with certainty today.(‘Hau, 2000’) Interestingly, the Chinese windmill was also a

vertical axis bamboo structure with sails, similar to the Persian system. The classical or horizontal

axis wind turbine can be confidently attributed to European designers independent of the oriental

vertical axis systems. The first documented historical evidence of horizontal axis wind mills dates

back to 1180 which tells of a windmill called a post or trestle mill present in the Dutch Normandy.

From there on the post mill quickly spread throughout Europe and was then further developed into

the tower mill two centuries later. In the 16th century the Dutch windmill was developed in

Holland which consisted of a mill house with a rotating tower cap and rotor blades. This design is

still in practical use today throughout the Netherlands and other European countries for traditional

milling processes.

Wind turbines come in a variety of different designs with varying outputs and efficiencies but all

convert the kinetic energy contained in an airstream into mechanical work. The most common type

of wind turbine is the Horizontal axis wind turbine with blade numbers generally ranging from one

to three. (Hau(2000) ; Gipe(2004) and McGowan & Rogers(2003) all state that the three bladed

horizontal axis wind turbine is the most suitable to standard wind conditions and is also the most

aesthetically pleasing of the wind energy converters. There are also a wide variety of vertical axis

wind turbines being utilised for the purpose of electricity production however none can achieve as

high a power coefficient as the horizontal designs. Vertical axis wind turbines were initially

designed to be used as purely drag type rotors however later on engineers redesigned the systems

to also incorporate aerodynamic lift as a source of rotation. The most common type of vertical axis

wind turbine is the Darrieus rotor which can be best 34 | P a g e described as a turbine resembling

the “spinning rope” principle. The specific advantages associated with the vertical axis wind

turbine are generally related to the simplicity of the design. The gearbox and generator can be

placed at ground level which also prevents the need for a yawing system to be incorporated in the

design. However the advantages of the vertical axis turbine are also accompanied by some major

16 | P a g e
disadvantages such as the low tip-speed ratio produced, the inability to self-start and also the

inability to control the power output by self pitching of the blades.

Related Theories (3 whole research)

Renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy are receiving great attention due to the

price fluctuation of fossil fuels in the international market as well as the adverse environmental

problems from the process of power generation from fossil fuels. Kim Bertelsen (2011), the owner

of Electricon Inc. and a lightning protection expert, stated that wind turbines are constantly

increasing in size and complexity. The wind turbines are relied upon as power plants in the overall

power production planning. If a sudden small interruption occurs, the effects cannot be tolerated

and the turbine is disconnected - leaving the grid on its own plants (Bertelsen, 2011). The modern

wind turbine has to stay connected even during a thunderstorm - and this can no longer be claimed

as an inevitable accident. It is decided that these machines should be running out there and this

demands the same approach to lightning protection, as well as known from conventional onshore

power plants (Bertelsen, 2011).

Hypothesis of the Study

Below is the null hypothesis that will be tested for acceptance or rejection:

● There is no significant result between the amount of energy produced by the wind turbine

power generation project and the materials used.

wind energy.

● The Mini Wind Turbine Power Generation Projects depends on the location where it will

be placed in order to operate.

● There is a significant relationship between the Mini Wind Turbine Power Generation

Project and the location where it will be placed.
