PRINCIPLE OF WIND POWER - These pressures are connected to a
common elevation such as sea level.
Wind - is a free, clean, and inexhaustible * The greater the pressure gradient, the type of solar powered energy. greater is the force on the air, - originate from the uneven heating and the higher is the wind speed. in the atmosphere from the sun, the irregularities from the earth’s Coriolis Force surface, and rotation of the earth. - is due to the earth’s rotation under - has been utilized to power wind- a moving particle of air. surfing ships for almost all Coriolis Effect centuries. - As the earth rotates, winds and Wind Flow Pattern currents move in a curved path. - are modified through the land Geostrophic Wind terrain, environmental conditions and - For straight or slightly curved buildings. isobars this resultant wind. Wind Energy Centrifugal Force - describes the task where the wind - When strongly curved isobars are is utilized to come up with found, a centrifugal force must also be mechanical power or electricity. considered. - is a nondegraded renewable energy. Anticyclone - an isobar around a high pressure The materials required for the area which is rotating clockwise manufacture of wind turbine elements: (Northern Hemisphere). Nacelle - fp = fc − fg Blades Cyclone Multiplier - one isobar around a cyclone, which is a low pressure area rotating Wind Turbine counterclockwise (Northern - convert the kinetic energy inside Hemisphere). wind turbine into mechanical power. - normally covers a major part of a - is a device that transforms a part of state or several states and has rather gentle the kinetic energy of the wind (fluid winds. in motion) into available mechanical - It should not be confused with a energy on a transmission shaft and tornado, which covers a very small region then into electrical energy via a and has very destructive winds. generator.

CHARACTERISTIC PARAMETERS FOR WIND MACHINE Determining the conditions of the atmosphere. Rated power of the machine Solar Radiation - is the maximum power developed Evaporation of water by the rotor and is also the generator rating. Cloud cover Cut-in speed Surface Roughness - Uc is the minimum wind speed at which the machine starts rotating. Meteorology Rated speed - The study of the interactions - UR is the minimum wind speed at between these effects is a complex which the machine develops rated power. subject. This is the speed at which the blade Isobar regulation become active. - A line drawn through points of equal pressure on a weather map. Furling speed - Uf is the maximum wind speed at which the machine develops power. - The machine is stopped beyond this speed. Particular Horizontal-Axis Propeller - The most common secondary wind turbine. - having 2 or 3 blades mounted on the top of a tower. Betz Rules - the value of the power coefficient features a theoretic limit connected with 59.3 %. Shortened-out Breeze Speed - When this wind pace exceeds 20–25 m/s the particular wind generators are commonly brought to be able to standstill avoiding high mechanically skillful loads within the turbine components.
