WIND ENERGY CONVERSION. Overview of. Systems & Components.

Presentation Outline. Overview of Wind Energy Wind Energy Conversion Systems Vertical and Horizontal Axis WTGs Wind Turbine Technology Types.

At the beginning of the 21st century, nearly 80% the world’s energy supply was derived from fossil hydrocarbons: (coal, petroleum, and natural gas)..

At the beginning of the 21st century, renewable energy sources accounted for nearly 20% of global energy consumption..

WIND ENERGY.

ENERGY FORM THE SUN ON EARTH. Based on the design, Airborne Wind Turbine technology can be classified as Kite type Balloon type Kytoon type (Combined Kite & Balloon) Tethered auto gyro type.

SOURCE OF WIND ENERGY. Wind is an aftereffect of solar energy. Land and water areas absorb and release heat at different rates. The uneven heating and cooling creates atmospheric pressure zones. This pressure difference makes air flow from high to low pressure areas..

Best sites for wind farms are where the annual average wind speed is at least 4-6 m/s..

Good Site Bad Site Obstacles prevailing wind Speedup effect over smooth hill Turbulence at top and bottom of hill Zone of max. turbulent flow.

Windfarms are located in areas having average wind speed of ~7 m/s (25 km/h) and above will be commercially more successful..

Based on the generator systems used, wind turbines are classified into four types:.

Ind. Gen Gearbox. Fixed Speed WTG. WIND ENERGY CONVERSION METHODS.
