Fundamentals of Wind Energy
CP5554
The Fundamentals of Wind Energy teaching solution explores the fundamentals of wind power generation, helping students to understand the operation of wind power plants. Including both a Savonius and three-blade rotor, this table top solution includes practical experiments demonstrating how factors such as wind speed, wind direction and rotor type, affect power output.
Learning Objectives:
- Influence of the wind speed
- Start-up wind speed of a wind turbine
- Comparison of the start-up wind speed of a Savonius and a three-blade rotor
- Change the turbine voltage by connecting a consumer
- Examine the wind speed behind the rotor
- Energy balance sheet at a wind turbine
- Calculating the efficiency of a wind turbine
- Storing electric energy
- Energy conversion in a wind turbine
- Examine colour wheels using a wind turbine
- Comparison of a Savonius rotor and a three-blade rotor
- Comparison of two, three and four-blade rotors
- Characteristic curves of a wind turbine
- Influence of the wind direction
- Influence of the rotor blade pitch
- Influence of the rotor blade pitch on the start up speed of a wind turbine
- Influence of the blade shape
