Palestine needs to wind turbine compatible with the local weather and available wind
speeds ,so we designed and built a small wind turbine meets this requirements and
able to supply the most needed load in winter which is water heater.
In this project, need to deal with the design of three blades with 1.5m length and
diameter between the blades 1.5m cyclone vertical wind turbine. The cyclone wind
turbine is a type of Darriues vertical axis wind turbine, which is used to produce
power. The turbine consists of three straight blades, which are represented by airfoils
that are connected to the rotating main shaft. In this project, the components required
for this wind turbine like airfoil, main shaft and bearing are designed properly. The
power calculations with respect to the velocity of wind are included. The components
are fabricated from steel, aluminum and wood then all parts are assembled together
after manufacturing of blades.
This turbine capably to produce an electrical energy reach 300 Watt/hour at design
point of 4 m/s. |
