Fundamentals of Wind Energy
SKU# RE3584
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
