Investigation on Startup of a Small Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Wind energy plays an important role in the power generation as the fossil fuels become more and more scarce and costly. Small horizontal axis wind turbine has been considered in this study and its problems are identified and analyzsed. Magnetic locking and higher static friction are the main problems faced by small horizontal axis wind turbine at lower wind speeds. As for this study, the wind speed is considered at 4 m/s in accordance withto the Indian average wind speed. The sSoft iron core is replaced bywith Aluminium core in order to minimizse the problems such as higher weight, magnetic locking and higher static friction and their effects. Some of the problems have been solved with some drawbacks which will be solved by further investigations.
