Renewables
In an era where the importance of sustainable energy is paramount, Matrix are leading the way in teaching about renewable energy.
Help us to teach a greener tomorrow.
Advanced Wind Energy
SKU# RE9346
The Advanced Wind Energy teaching solution provides students with a modular setup to explore the core principles of wind energy production, including the basics of wind power, wind turbine control, and various rotor types.
Students study wind turbine characteristics, performance under load, and behaviour under different wind conditions.
The system enables students to analyse power conversion in wind turbines, assess and rate turbine performance, examine the effects of wind conditions and loads, and determine optimal operating conditions.
The system includes multiple rotor types, such as Savonius rotors, along with variations in blade shape, number, and pitch.
Experiments allow students to explore the benefits and limitations of different rotor designs, ultimately validating the efficiency of the three-blade horizontal-axis wind turbine as the most effective design
Learning Objectives:
