How is wind created.?
the wind passes through the airfoil section of the blades and the lift
produced generates a torque which is then transformed to electricity in
the generator
So the output power curve is smoother which greatly enhances the quality of power.
Stator of the squirrel cage induction generator will be connected to the grid by the
means of back to back connected power electronic converter bridges.
Since the power converter has to convert all the stator power, the converter size
depends on the stator power rating.
ADVANTAGE:
Ability to make the best use of available wind power.
It eliminates the need for a capacitor bank.
DISADVANTAGE:
Cost of power converter is high.
WECS with Wound rotor induction generator
ADVANTAGES:
For utility scale wind power generation it outweighs
squirrel cage machine.
WECS with DFIG
ADVANTAGES:
Less cost of AC-AC converter.
Improved system efficiency.
Pitch Control
Setting wind turbine blades at the best angle to the wind to turn the rotor
Yaw Control
Yaw is the angle of rotation of the nacelle around its vertical axis.
Efficient yaw control is essential to ensure that wind turbines always face directly into the
wind.
Nacelle
Houses all of the generating components in a wind turbine
generator, gearbox, drive train, and brake assembly.
Gear Box
Mechanical method of transferring energy from one device to another and is used to increase
torque while reducing speed.
Turbine moves at a slow rate of rotation with a great deal of torque.
The transmission translates this power into the faster but lower torque rotational speed of the
electricity generator
Blade materials
Large(600kW-2+MW)
Central station wind farms
Distributed power
Community wind
Conclusion
Obviously, the entire world needs energy and the
energy demand is constantly growing. Non
renewable energy looks to be slowly but surely
losing its dominance, and some innovative ideas
in technology have really helped boosting some
renewable energy sources it he last five years or
so, most notably solar and wind energy. By using
wind energy instead of conventional one based
on fossil fuels, you will be able to not only
decrease your electricity bills but you'll also help
our planet recover from pollution and climate
change problem.
