History of Wind Energy• Ancient Egyptians used
wind to sail ships on the Nile River.
• Persians used wind mills for baking and pumping water from the wells.
• American colonists used windmills used to grind wheat and corn.
• Germany and Denmark are taking the leads.

VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind Turbine) Features:
VAWT are designed to capture wind from any direction and therefore no yawing mechanisms are needed.
VAWTs could be of either a drag type or a lift type. Advantage: The heavy components (the gearbox,
generator, and controllers) can be placed near, or on, the ground where wind is weaker.
Disadvantages: not self-starting. Torque is continuously varied as the blades move into
and out of the wind Efficiencies are relatively smaller.

Maximum Theoretical Wind Power Energy delivered by a wind turbine, is
proportional to… Change in K.E. of air (mass) that is sweeping
through the rotor. Mass of increase with density and area of the blade.
The Power delivered by a wind turbine, is proportional to…
Air density Swept Diameter Blade, i.e. square of the blade
diameter Cube of Wind Velocity

Scaling (Example) A wind turbine (d=3m) generates 10
kW of power at wind speed of 4 m/s. How much power will it produce,
If the turbine diameter were increased to 6 m? If wind speed suddenly increased to 12 m/s? With the same wind conditions, would turbine
produce more power in winter or summer?

The world’s largest wind turbine is now the Enercon E-126Rotor diameter = 126 meters (413 feet). Power = 7 megawatts (or 60 million kilowatt hours per year), enough to power about 5,000 German homes.

Rotor = Blades + Hub HAWT
For a given wind speed and direction, the angle of attack remains positive throughout their complete rotation.
The blades are designed to maximize lift for a particular design point (rated velocity).
VAWT The angle of attack is changing constantly and
remains positive during one half of the rotation and negative during the second half.
Blades use a symmetrical profile, since there is no preferred direction.

How many Blades? Theoretically, only ONE. Greater the no. of blades, the more stable the turbines
are, but also are heavier and more expensive. Single-, and to some extent, double-blade turbines
cheaper but must operate at much higher speeds to capture the same amount of wind and are, therefore, noisier.
They also have low to moderate starting torque, which makes their operation difficult at very low wind speeds.
Multi-bladed rotors used in older designs are less efficient, but provide more torque and have been used,
traditionally, for pumping water, even at low wind speeds.
Most modern wind turbines use three blades.
