In this thesis an overview of the technology in vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) is presented as preliminary investigation of certain characteristics of a new type of turbine design of this kind. After an introduction on the history of wind power, the analysis focuses to illustrating the main characteristics and the principle of operation of the different types of VAWT. After it describes the aerodynamic theory which is the basis of wind flow and provides an information about wind flow and control of blade depending on surrounding used for it. A new concept of small scale vertical axis wind turbine design was developed with a modified aero foil GOE (Gottingen) 164 used in it, as blade is main element of the total wind turbine model design. The designing wind turbine’s other supporting parts of blade like Top Part and Base part was done for the total wind turbine model design. After it as the purpose of mechanical analysis, simulations tests like Von Mises stress, Strain Distribution & Displacement and air flow simulations were carried out for both blade element and total assembled wind turbine model design and results were extracted for technical observation. As matter of innovation to achieve more precision in power transmission from wind turbine to generator with less power losses. An automated power transmission model structure was developed by using ORCAD software as platform for 8052 Microcontroller and verified with ISIS simulation. A program was developed using CODE KEIL software which make the total automation results a constant and standard output. In total it is explained that the prescribed vertical wind turbine model design can be a good thought for an independent power production. |
