    Vertical axis windmills have a feature that is

    particularly attractive- they accept wind from any

    horizontal direction and do not need the complicated head

    mechanisms of conventional horizontal axis windmills. The

    resulting mechanical simplification is sufficient to warrant

    interest in any new vertical axis concept that arises.

    This wind turbine is a rotating machine which

    captures the kinetic energy of the wind and converts it into

    electrical energy.

    In this project we are trying to utilize the maximum

    energy of the wind to rotate the wind turbine n by using shaft

    work we can generate the electrical energy.

    In this project we are using the Neo-Aero Dynamic

    type of blades to run the turbine. Its having four blades and

    also it can be operated for any directional wind direction.

    Here we are using the Proto type of generator of axial flux

    machine principle to convert the mechanical energy to the

    electrical energy. We are using for four pole proto typegenerator of a four permanent magnet of NdFeB

    (Neodymium Iron Baron) material.

    And at the last stage of this project we are making a

    SPWM inverter for converting the DC current in to the AC

    current for operating any electrical apparatus up to 30Watt.

    In 2005, wind accounted

    for 1% of the totalelectricity production in

    the world. The United

    States was third in

    utilization of wind energy,

    with Germany being the

    leading producer.

    According to the

    Department of Energy,

    offshore wind farms could

    provide enough energy to

    power the entire nation.

    In 2006, India overtook

    Denmark to become the

    fourth largest producer of

    wind energy in the world.

    According to the latest

    study released by Global

    Wind Energy Council, the

    wind could generate a

    'considerable share' of

    India's power and the

    country's total installed

    capacity for wind power

    could go up five times to

    231GW by 2030.

    During the early seventies, South & Rangie (1971,

    1972) conducted wind tunnel tests on a novel Vertical axis

    configuration at the National Research Council, Canada, which

    showed that the device worked efficiently at high tip speed

    ratios but had poor starting torque, In effect, the new device

    behaved much like a low solidity horizontal axis machine but

    was conceptually a great deal simpler.

    It appears that the configuration was originally

    discovered and patented by Darrieus. A wide variety of VAWT

    configurations have been proposed, dating from the Persian

    VAWTs used for milling grain over a thousand years ago,

    through to the Darrieus turbine, invented in 1926 by Georges

    Darrieus, which has been used extensively for power

    generation.

    We refer to this configuration as the Darrieus rotor and

    when used as a turbine as the vertical axis wind Turbine

    (VAWT).The Darrieus rotor (figure) consists of a number of

    curved blades rotating about the vertical axis through their

    ends, Sections of any blade, in planes normal to the slope of

    the major (lengthwise) axis, are of aerofoil shape with the

    chords aligned in the azimuthally (azimuth - angular distance

    from a north or south point of the horizon to the intersection

    with the horizon of a vertical circle passing through a given

    celestial body) direction.

    Figure1. (The rotor

    geometry. The blades

    rotate about the vertical

    axis.)

    Egyptians used wind

    energy to sail ships on

    the Nile River over 5,000

    years ago, whilewindmills were

    developed in Persia

    about 500 to 900 A.D. to

    automate grain-grinding

    and water-pumping.

    Charles Brush was the

    first to use a large

    windmill to generate

    electricity in Cleveland,

    Ohio, in 1888.

    Wind energy theory was

    discovered in 1919 by

    German physicist Albert

    Betz and published in his

    book Wind-Energy

    Understanding of Block diagram of project:

    The block diagram of the project is shown in above figure. It contains main five blocks.

    i. The first block is of input device. Here is the input of mechanical energy given bythe wind turbine. And the wind turbine is run by the wind.

    ii. The second block is of generator with rectifier. Here the mechanical energy isconverted in electrical energy by means of generator. Here we are using six pole

    PROTO type AC generators n this AC output is converted in DC output by using

    full wave bridge rectifier.

    iii. Third part of this project block diagram is of control circuit which controlling theoutput of the generator and gives the charging current to the battery for charging

    the battery. Here we are using liquid battery for backup.

    iv. Fourth block contains inverter. Here we made SPWM (sinusoidal pulse widthmodulator) inverter to convert the batterys dc power in to the AC pow er up to

    40watt.

    v. Output port provides the constant 40watt AC supply.

    By using these five parts we made our project. There are main 2 part of this project 1 st

    is a charging part and 2nd part is discharging part. First of all we have to run this project

    mode in charging part when batteries are fully charged then we can use these batteries in

    discharging modes by using the SPWM inverter.

    Neo-Aerodynamic introduces a new, history making technology to extract kinetic

    energy from a flowing fluid, providing unheard-of amounts of electricity as the final

    result; this rate has not been seen before. During the development of this technology we

    have gone from one surprising result to the other. At times we could not believe our eyes

    when we read the measurements; in the end we had to settle for what the equipment tells

    us.

    Neo-Aerodynamic indeed sparks a new energy revolution by providing for the first

    time in history a concrete means for humans to harness most of their energy needs through

    a renewable resource. For example: a 2m diameter by 2m height hydro Neo-Aerodynamic

    device could generate a net power of several megawatts. Neo-Aerodynamic provides the

    most inexpensive means to generate electricity even when compared to fossil fuel engines.

    Neo-Aerodynamic has a high sensitivity to the fluid stream and a superb rate of

    energy return allowing it to be economically deployed in almost every corner of the world.

    With wind, you feel it you get it. With water, you see it you get it.

    Fig 4.1: Neo aero blades design

    In our project we are using this kind of blades. In which a plastic sheet of 0.3 cm

    and height is of 121cm and width is of 48 cm. It is mounted on the semicircular PVC pipes

    of circumference of circle. The length of this circumference is nearly about 51cm.

    plastic blades are holed by clamps from the top and the bottom. Here all the blades are at

    apart from each other. The main axis of this wind mill is also of PVC pipe of 2cm

    diameter and 0.4cm thickness.

    When wind is blowing this structure is rotates on the least friction vertical bearing.

    And this both bearing is tightly holed by means of metallic supports.

    The gear ratio of 1:8 is used to increase the RPM of the blades. The total rpm of this

    structure are 42 - 45. And by using gear ratio we get the rpm up to 336 360. And this is

    used as an input mechanical work of generator.

    A. The Background.

    Fluid always goes from high to a low-pressured place. In fluid aerodynamic; when

    something stands in its flow it then causes the flow facing front having higher pressure.

    Using airfoil in the path of the flow; its aerodynamic effect will cause a lift, like it works

    with an airplane.

    B. The dynamic.

    On the wind facing (wind make) side; the flow are then redirect outward from the

    center. It then causes the lift on airfoils to push it turning. Once the device is turning it

    causes the center to have lower pressure; the outside air then rushes in to fill those

    vacuums. This flow is then redirected to cause lift on the airfoil.

    When turning; the special arrange of the airfoil allowing the volume of the air

    passing through the upper chamber are always more than of the lower chamber. This also

    causes the lift to make the device turn.

    In short; Neo-Aerodynamic uses the artificial flow of the air to cause the lift on its

    airfoils. That's why it's called Neo-Aerodynamic.

    C. The Swept Area.

    In case of a horizontal axis propeller it's easy to understand that its swept area is on

    the surface that is parallel to the cross section of it axis. In this case it is the same as the

    wind facing surface.

    In case of a Neo-Aero-Dynamic device the swept area is the same area as the cross

    section of the airfoils sweep. It is the surface that's parallel to the cross section of its axis.

    Therefore as of the wind, the swept area of a Neo-Aero-Dynamic device is on a horizontal

    plane. This concept is very important because we will use the swept area to calculate the

    output of a Neo-Aero-Dynamic device.

    Its also very important that the commonly understood swept area that we use to

    calculate the rated output of the horizontal propeller does not apply to this device because:

    12 | P a g e D e p a r t m e n t o f E L E C T R I C A L 2 0 1 1 G E C , S U R A T

    There's no wind move through its airfoils. Turbulence and the attack angle of each airfoil changes at every moment. On each airfoil; the pressure posing on the upper chamber and the lower chamber

    are different and constantly changing.

    As the result; known methods such as "Betz" limit become useless. Everything weuse to calculate the output has to come from actual measurements on either wind

    tunnel test models or real life installation.

    Advantages & disadvantages of this type of wind blades

    Advantages:

    Neo-Aerodynamic works on "you feel it you get it", it does not require years ofobservation and gathering data.

    Neo-Aerodynamic mainly works on pneumatic force of the wind therefore it's noteffect by turbulence or wind drag.

    Neo-Aerodynamic has phenomenally high capture rate; because its capture rate isat least proportional to its diameter.

    Neo-Aerodynamic does not require a tower, allowing equipment to be maintainedat or close to the ground.

    Neo-Aerodynamic can be scaled independently its width and or its height to fityour application.

    Neo-Aerodynamic works on low wind speed while other technologies provide toolittle.

    Neo-Aerodynamic increases its effectiveness along with the density of the medium(air and water) while other decrease.

    Neo-Aerodynamic are simple to operate; no yawing, no controller to have it facingto the wind.

    Neo-Aerodynamic is safe in reaction to the wind rush. Neo-Aerodynamic are low profile; not being scenic pollution. Neo-Aerodynamic is silent. Neo-Aerodynamic does not have shadow nuisances. Neo-Aerodynamic can be adapted to city/subdivision residential area or backyard. Neo-Aerodynamic works in both air and water medium.

    Hydro Neo-Aerodynamic can be either float or bottom dwelling. Both Hydro and aero devices are compact; easy to be transported or making it

    portable.

    Disadvantages: As of any technology, there may be a limit of how width and or how high it can be

    built.

    As of any technology, there may be a new, better "invention"? Being backed by actual models; despite the fact that Neo-Dynamic has the same or

    better tip-speed, it usually requires a higher ratio gearbox (more expensive) to take

    advantage of capturing the energy when the wind speed is slow.

    The biggest problem with using car alternators for wind power is that they aredesigned to rotate at too high a speed to be practical in wind power applications without

    significant modifications. Even a small, seemingly fast windmill might do most of its

    work at 600 rpm, not nearly fast enough for a car or truck alternator. This means that

    gearing up with pulleys or other methods is needed, so lots of power is lost to friction--a

    big problem with wind or water power, but not a problem with a internal combustion

    engine.

    A standard car or truck alternator is electromagnetic-- meaning that some of the

    electricity produced by the unit must be used internally and sent to the armature through

    brushes and slip rings to make the magnetic field. Alternators that use electricity to

    generate the field current are less efficient and more complicated. They are quite easy to

    regulate, however, since the magnetic flux inside can be changed by adjusting the field

    power.

    Also, the brushes and slip rings wear out, requiring more maintenance. Car and

    truck alternators can also be rewound to produce power at lower speeds. This is done by

    replacing the existing stator windings with more turns of smaller gauge wire. This project

    is not for the faint of heart, but check the inexpensive booklet Alternator Secrets by

    Thomas Lindsay if you are interested.

    5.1Alternator and Generator Comparison for Wind Power5.1.1 Induction Motor Conversion Alternators

    * Advantages: cheap, easy to find, fairly easy to convert, good low-rpm performance.

    * Disadvantages: power output limited by internal resistance, inefficient at higher speeds,

    machining needed.

    * Suitability for Wind Power: OK

    Armature converted with permanent magnets:

    A normal AC induction motor can be converted into a permanent magnet

    alternator at very low cost. Our experiments have shown that these conversions produce

    16 | P a g e D e p a r t m e n t o f E L E C T R I C A L 2 0 1 1 G E C , S U R A T

    significant power at very low speeds, but become inefficient quickly at higher power

    levels.

    An induction motor has a center core with no wires in it, just alternating plates of

    aluminum and steel (it will look smooth from the outside). If you rout a groove in this

    center core to accept permanent magnets, the unit becomes a permanent magnet alternator!

    In practice, wind generators made with these do quite well until they reach 10-20

    amps of output. At this point, they become inefficient quickly--it takes a large increase in

    wind speed to make only slightly more power, and the rest is wasted as heat inside the

    unit. The induction motors are wound with wire that's simply too thin for generating large

    amounts of power.

    In tests, DanB's PM induction motor conversion windmill peaks at around 25 amps

    in 30 mph winds, with a 7-foot diameter prop. By comparison, a 7-foot prop on an

    efficient PM alternator made from scratch gives peaks of 50-60 amps in similar winds!

    Converted motors also have the tendency to "cog" when starting...you can feel the

    resistance when you turn the shaft. This affects low-speed startup somewhat.

    If the lesser output in high winds is acceptable to you, these units can make for a

    pretty easy wind generator project. Look for AC induction motors of the lowest rpm rating

    possible. 3-phase motors will perform better than single phase. Since alternators produce

    alternating current (AC), the power must be converted to DC with bridge rectifiers.

    5.1.2 DC Generators

    * Advantages: Simple and pre-assembled, some are good at low rpm.

    * Disadvantages: High maintenance, most are not good at low rpm, large sizes very hard

    to find, small ones have limited power output.

    * Suitability for Wind Power: POOR to OK

    Generators make DC current, and batteries need DC for charging. Generators were

    used in automobiles until around 1970, when alternators became more practical (due to the

    availability of cheap, small diodes). Even old car generators must spin too fast to be

    practical for wind power, but there have been many good plans for modifying them.

    Generators are fairly complex compared to alternators. They must have brushes,

    and complex commutations. Brushes require maintenance, and commentators can wear

    out. For most purposes, alternators are more practical today, although generators do have

    certain advantages at times.

    Certain low rpm DC motors can be purchased as

    surplus and work very well as 12 volt low rpm generators.

    These are from old mainframe computer tape drives, and are

    sometimes available in local and mail-order electronics stores,

    and on EBay. They don't make a whole lot of power...you can

    expect only 100-200 watts of output...but these motors are

    almost a science project in a box! Slap on a frame and a 3-4 ft

    prop, and you have a small working wind generator.

    5.1.3 Induction Motors as Alternators

    It's possible to make a 3-phase induction motor produceelectricity, either 3-phase or single phase. This requires a

    controller and capacitor. The generator must run at a fairly

    constant speed. For this reason, this type of generator is more

    suitable for constant-speed hydro power installations than for

    wind, where speed varies--though it can be done. We have not

    experimented with this technique yet, since we don't have a

    suitable hydropower source.

    5.1.4 Homemade Permanent Magnet Alternators

    * Advantages: Low cost per watt of output, very efficient,

    huge power output possible, extremely sturdy construction

    * Disadvantages: A time-consuming, somewhat complicated

    project, machining needed.

    * Suitability for Wind Power: GOODHugh Piggott in Scotland was the pioneer in building

    permanent magnet alternators from scratch. Experiments have

    consistently shown that homemade PM alternators are the most

    powerful and cost-effective solution for building a wind

    generator. Their low-rpm performance is excellent, and at high

    speeds they can really crank out the amps thanks to their

    efficiency.

    PM alternators have been based on disc brake

    Features of NdFeB:

    NdFeB magnets are

    sensitive to changes in

    temperature.

    Additionally, Neodymium

    Iron Boron magnets are

    prone to rapid oxidation;

    salt spray, salt water, and

    hydrogen are very harsh

    on the magnet.

    Coating or plating is

    generally recommended

    unless using advanced

    alloys. Advanced grades

    are developed specifically

    for applications which

    have oxidation rates that

    are far below the average

    Neodymium Iron Boron

    alloys, making them ideal

    for applications that

    require post assemblyprocessing, due to tight

    tolerances in the final

    assembly state.

    The selection of

    Neodymium Iron Boron

    magnets in your

    applications will depend

    on your working

    environment. If you usethe magnets at elevated

    temperatures, select the

    alloys that have a high

    intrinsic coercivity (Hci). If

    you use the alloy at lower

    temperatures (such as

    room temperature), you

    may select higher Br

    materials.

    assemblies, which are very sturdy and have thrust bearings

    built into the unit. Larger units are "Disc" or "Axial"

    designs...a flat plate of magnets rotating next to a flat plate of

    coils. Smaller PM alternators are "Radial" designs, where the

    magnets are fastened to the outside radius of the armature.

    Since all alternators produce AC, the output must be converted

    to DC with bridge rectifiers for battery charging.

    These designs are usually single phase for ease of

    construction. Three-phase alternators have some advantages

    (they are somewhat more efficient, and make better use of

    available space), but they are somewhat more difficult to

    build.

    Here we have made a Permanent Magnet Alternator of 6 poles.

    Rotor of alternator:In this project the rotor is made up of a 40 cm diameter

    and 0.5 cm thick wooden circular plate on which the 6

    permanent magnets are holed by screw arrangement

    apartfrom each other.

    Fig. 4 shows the practical design of the rotor. In this

    alternator we are using a belt conveyor system to convert

    higher torque lower RPM of wind blades in lower torque high

    RPM of ratio 1:8. Rotor contains a ball bearing. In a ball

    bearing, the load is transmitted from the outer race to the ball

    and from the ball to the inner race. Since the ball is a sphere,it only contacts the inner and outer race at a very small point,

    which helps it spin very smoothly.

    In this project the permanent magnets are used of a

    3500 gauss NdFeB (Neodymium Iron Baron) material. Sizes

    of the magnets are 5*5 cm and 2cm thick. And the thickness of

    the axis which is passing through it is of 1.5cm diameter.

    Samarium Cobalt, so the material is more sensitive to temperature changes, ranging from

    0.10%/C - 0.13%/C. Neodymium Iron Boron magnets are less expensive, since the main

    elements Nd and Fe are abundant, and are mechanically stronger.

    Stator:Here we made a stator which having a total 24 coils 12 coils are of square shaped

    of 5 * 5 cm, 21 SWG (standard wire gauge) copper wires having a 45 turns. The coil

    winder we used probably wound the coils a little taller than needed, so the unit could be

    improved by making the coils a little smaller.

    All coils are 30 apart from each other. Bellow figure shows that coils on stator.

    Now the upper end of this coils are connected with the another coils which having a

    copper wire of 36 SWG, 2300 turns wounded on the round shaped wonder.

    After each coil is wound, it is carefully set aside to be glued and clamped over the top of

    the stator at a later time. And the thickness of this coil is 2cm. Here it was to line them up

    around the stator and put them in exactly the right place.

    Totally 12 coils are used, so each of them must occupy a 30 degree arc around the stator.

    Since there are 4 coil groups, each one must occupy a 90 degree arc around the

    stator. This is actually easily estimated by first perfectly aligning the magnets around the

    armature (the brake disk), placing all the coils down around the stator (pictured above),

    and then placing the brake disc down over the stator, making sure that there is 1 coil

    located exactly under each magnet. Sometimes it was necessary to squeeze the coils by

    hand so that they would fit in the space provided. Once everything is lined up properly, we

    fix it with glue.

    Then we took the rotor, centered over the stator, and clamped the whole thing

    together tightly. It is very important! When clamped, the thickness of all the coils around

    the stator should be the same. Otherwise, when completed the gap between magnets and

    coil will be wider in one part of the alternator than another.

    Fig.5.4: Stator with both Coils connected in series

    So, when one side had thicker coils than another, we would simply adjust the

    clamps until it willbe even all around. The thickness of the coil is 2 cm and the air gap

    created between coils and magnet is 0.6 cm.

    The generator also has excellent part load efficiency. This is primarily due to the

    use of permanent magnet excitation whilst the simple stator core minimizes iron loss.

    The stator is of 2 phase. Each phase having 6 coils.And the each coil having 2345turns.

    Coil WinderIf we're going to build a generator or a motor, then we're going to need some coils.

    Even with permanent magnet rotors as used here, we 'll still need armature windings. Its

    pretty hard to get out much power otherwise. Some kind of winder will make the task of

    producing consistent coils much easier. The photos below show a simple coil winder of 45

    turns coils.

    Fig.5.5: Coil winder of 45 turns coil

    This is made up of one piece of wood skewed at a square shaped 4.5 cm * 4.5 cm.

    For winding 2300 turns coils we use a round shaped winder of Teflon tape which is

    shown below.

    Fig.5.6: Coil winder of 2300 turns coil

    After winding all the coils we applied an insulation varnish to hold winding. All

    coils were wound in the same direction and so that the last turn come out on the same side

    of the coil as the first turn. For each coil, the wire extending from the first turn was

    arbitrarily chosen to be the "positive" coil lead, and a small loop was twisted in its end in

    order to identify it after removing the coil from the winder.

    Prior to removing a coil from the coil winder a few inches of fiber reinforced

    strapping tape was wrapped around the circumference of its windings to hold them in

    place. The reinforced tape was chosen because it holds well, even when moist, and also

    because it tears uniformly lengthwise so that a width of tape that covered the spread of the

    coils but did not adhere to the coil forms could easily be obtained without having to

    actually try to cut the tape lengthwise. Once the windings were taped in place the wire

    extending from the spool was cut, (becoming the "negative" coil lead), and the coil was

    removed from the winding form, with no danger of the coil unwinding itself.

    A hole was drilled in the center of the backing wooden groove circle for the axle to

    pass through. The backing wooden groove was turned in high enough up the stator frame

    piece to allow clearance for the rotor to spin freely on its axle when the entire generator

    unit is assembled on its base.

    Coil Lead ConnectionThe machine is of 2 phase. In a three phase system, the phases are electrically120

    degrees apart. But, the stator coils are not (necessarily) physically spaced at 120 degree

    intervals on the stator frame. The total number of coils on the stator and the number ofcoils used for each phase affects the physical placement of coils around the stator frame.

    Here we are using a 2 phase system as there are a 6 poles and stator having 12 coils

    30 apart from each other.

    For the generator being described here, there are twelve stator coils, which allow 6

    coils to be connected for each of the 2 phases. And, 12 coils means they will be spaced at

    thirty degree intervals around the 360 degree perimeter of the stator frame.

    The phases are referred to as A, B, and, starting from the right one of the topmostpair of coils on the stator frame, the coils are identified in the clockwise direction as

    follows: A1, B1, A2, B2, A3, B3, A4, B4, A5, B5, A6, B6.Where B6 is the left one of the

    topmost pair of coils. Each indexed letter of the alphabet refers to one of the coils in the

    group of coils that comprises on phase coil set, e.g., coils A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6 are

    the coils wired together for phase A.

    In phase A A1 is in series with A4.Such that A2 and A3 are in series with A5 and

    A6. Then they are connected parallel to get a somewhat higher current.

    But in phase B coils B1, B2, B3, are connected in series with B4, B5, and B6 just

    like phase A, but at last they all are connected in series as per the polarity considered at

    some instant.

    Fig.5.8 Coil Connections in phase 2 in stator

    To work properly, at any instant in time each coil in a phase must be contributing

    current to the phase of the same polarity and magnitude. Whether a coil is being energized

    by the North Pole or the south pole of a magnet determines the polarity of the current

    produced in the coil. The distance in its rotating path a magnet is from a coil determines

    how much it contributes to the magnitude of the current generated in the coil. (A changing

    magnetic field is required to generate current in a wire coil, and motion of the magnets

    results in a changing magnetic field.)

    Because there are alternating north and south magnet poles, the separate phase

    coils cannot be simply connected in series, as the resulting currents generated in the

    individual coils in a phase will not match.

    6.1 What is Inverter (power inverter)?

    Many people are confused on two products: inverters (power inverters) and

    frequency inverters. Although both have the word of inverter, they are different.

    Then what exactly is an inverter (power inverter)? An inverter (power inverter) is

    an electrical device that converts DC power or direct current (DC) to AC power or

    alternating current (AC). The converted alternating current (AC) can be at any required

    voltage and frequency with the use of appropriate transformers, switching, and control

    circuits. An inverter (power inverter) allows you to run electrical equipment off your car

    or marine battery for mobile applications, emergencies or simple convenience.

    Power inverters (inverters) are small rectangular electrical devices that have a

    trailing wire with a jack that plugs directly into the cigarette lighter on the dashboard.

    Power inverters (inverters) might also come with jumper-like cables for connecting

    directly to a battery.

    6.2Type of inverter1. Pure Sine Inverter

    A pure sine wave inverter, also known as a true sine wave inverter, uses sine

    waves, which oscillate regularly in order to produce electrical energy to power appliances.

    The sine wave inverter produces sine waves with AC machinery that rotates and creates

    the type of electrical wave that is usually produced by the utility company with the use ofa generator. There are many benefits to using a pure sine inverter since all electronic

    equipment is designed to be used with sine waves. Additionally, some appliances such as

    light dimmers cannot work without the use of sine wave power and microwaves cannot

    operate at full output without sine wave power. Pure sine wave inverters are more

    expensive than other types of inverters.

    30 | P a g e D e p a r t m e n t o f E L E C T R I C A L 2 0 1 1 G E C , S U R A T

    2. Modified Sine InverterA modified sine inverter differs from a pure sine inverter because it operates by

    creating step waves instead of regular oscillating waves. As a result of this, most

    appliances cannot work with this type of inverter because they require a regular energy

    output that cannot be produced using step waves. However, some appliances can operate

    with modified sine inverters though they require more power to run since the level of

    energy output from the inverter is irregular.

    3. Square Wave InverterSquare wave inverters make electrical energy conversions using a series of waves

    that have a rectangular form. The signal from the inverter is very noisy and most

    appliances cannot function with electrical currents produced by a square wave inverter.

    The square wave inverter is one of the earliest types of inverters and, as such, the device is

    incompatible with most modern types of electrical equipment. Moreover, the power

    produced by this type of inverter can damage some electronic equipment that is sensitive

    to the square waves of electrical power.

    6.3 Principal of Inverter

    An inverter is an electrical device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating

    current (AC); the converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency with the use

    of appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits.

    6.4 The working principle of InverterFrom basic principles in terms of application, Inverter is a device that contains

    stored energy in order to inverter as the main component, regulated stable frequency

    output power protection equipment. Mainly by the rectifier, batteries, power inverters

    and static switch of several components.

    1) Rectifier

    Rectifier is a rectifier device, simply means that the exchange of (AC) into direct

    current (DC) devices. It has two main functions: First, the alternating current (AC) into

  • 7/30/2019 5. Vertical Axis Wind Mill New

    31/58

    V e r t i c a l A x i s W i n d M i l l W i t h S P W M I n v e r t e r

    31 | P a g e D e p a r t m e n t o f E L E C T R I C A L 2 0 1 1 G E C , S U R A T

    direct current (DC), through the supply of filtered load, or the supply inverter; second, to

    provide battery charging voltage. Therefore, it is also play a role in charger.

    2) BatteryInverter battery is used as a storage energy device, which consists of several cells in series,

    with a capacity to maintain its size determines the discharge (supply) time. Its main

    function is: When the wind mill is rotating and electricity is generate through Generator,

    the energy converted into chemical energy stored in the battery internal; when the

    electricity fails, the chemical energy into electrical energy provided to the inverter or the

    load.

    3) Inverter

    Popular speaking, the inverter is a DC (DC) into alternating current (AC) device. It

    consists of inverter bridge control logic and filter circuit.

    4) Sensing Relay

    When there is electricity is available relay is sense the voltage and already in

    operated condition. Voltage is applied to relay by step down transformer 230 12 volt.

    But suddenly if electricity is not available relay come in its normal position and the

    contact of inverter makes. So Relay provides automatic operation of inverter.

    Most inverters do their job by performing two main functions: first they convert

    the incoming DC into AC, and then they step up the resulting AC to mains voltage level

    using a transformer. And the goal of the designer is to have the inverter perform these

    functions as efficiently as possible. So that as much as possible of the energy drawn from

    the battery or solar panel is converted into mains voltage AC, and as little as possible is

    wasted as heat.

    Modern inverters use a basic circuit scheme like that shown in Fig.1. As you can

    see the DC from the battery is converted into AC very simply, by using a pair of power

    MOSFET (Q1 and Q2) acting as very efficient electronic switches. The positive 13.8V DC

    from the battery is connected to the centre-tap of the transformer primary, while each

    MOSFET is connected between one end of the primary and earth (battery negative). So by

    switching onQ1, the battery current can be made to flow through the top.Half of the

  • 7/30/2019 5. Vertical Axis Wind Mill New

    32/58

    V e r t i c a l A x i s W i n d M i l l W i t h S P W M I n v e r t e r

    32 | P a g e D e p a r t m e n t o f E L E C T R I C A L 2 0 1 1 G E C , S U R A T

    primary and to earth via Q1.Conversely by switching on Q2 instead, the current is made to

    flow the opposite way through the lower Half of the primary and to earth.

    Therefore by switching the two MOSFET on alternately, the current is made to

    flow first in one half of the primary and then in the other, producing an alternating

    magnetic flux in the transformers core. As a result a corresponding AC voltage is induced

    in the transformers secondary Winding, and as the secondary has about 24 times the

    number of turns in the primary, the induced AC voltage is much higher, around 650V peak

    to peak. By the way if youre wondering why MOSFET are used as the electronic

    switches, to convert the DC into AC, its because they make the most efficient high-

    current switches.

    When they are off they are virtually an open circuit, yet when they are on they are

    very close to a short circuit (only a few milliohms). So very little power is wasted as heat.

    6.5 Pulse Width Modulation

    There are many forms of modulation used for communicating information. When a

    high frequency signal has amplitude varied in response to a lower frequency signal we

    have AM (amplitude modulation). When the signal frequency is varied in response to the

    modulating signal we have FM (frequency modulation). These signals are used for radio

    modulation because the high frequency carrier signal is needs for efficient radiation of the

    signal. When communication by pulses was introduced, the amplitude, frequency and

    pulse width become possible modulation options. In many power electronic converters

    where the output voltage can be one of two values the only option is modulation of

    average conduction time.

    Here we are using SPWM technical to switching the mosfet.

    6.6 Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation

    Instead of, maintaining the width of all pulses of same as in case of multiple pulse

    width modulation, the width of each pulse is varied in proportion to the amplitude of a

    sine wave evaluated at the center of the same pulse. The distortion factor and lower order

    harmonics are reduced significantly. The gating signals are generated by comparing a

    sinusoidal reference signal with a triangular carrier wave of frequency F c. The frequency

    of reference signal Frdetermines the inverter output frequency and its peak amplitude AR,

    controls the modulation index M and RMS output voltage VO. The number of pulses per

    half cycle depends on carrier frequency.

    Sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) is widely used in power electronics to

    digitize the power so that a sequence of voltage pulses can be generated by the on and off

    of the power switches. The Sinusoidal pulse width modulation inverter has been the main

    choice in power electronic for decades, because of its circuit simplicity and rugged control

    scheme. SPWM switching technique is commonly used in industrial applications or solar

    electric vehicle applications. SPWM techniques are characterized by constant amplitude

    pulses with different duty cycle for each period. The width of this pulses are modulated to

    obtain inverter output voltage control and to reduce its harmonic content. Sinusoidal pulse

    width modulation is the mostly used method in motor control and inverter application.The

    proposed alternative approach is to replace the conventional method with the use of

    microcontroller. A use ofP89V51RD2 microcontroller brings the flexibility to change the

    real-time control without further changes in hardware. It is also low cost and has a small

    size of control circuit for the single phase full bridge inverter. The microcontroller has the

    built in dead time control circuit.

    As per the block diagram we can say that its very simple concept to make an

    inverter. There are 7 main parts.

    a) control circuit:It is the main part of the inverter where SPWM signals are generated by using

    P89V51RD2. 4 Output port of the controller is given to the Mosfet connected in

    H-Bridge, which gives proper switching to the Mosfet.

    b) Mosfet Driver Circuit:It is made up of a 4 Mosfet IRF3205 connected in H-bridge to give the Output. The

    Output of the Control Circuit is primarily fed to an IC TLP250 and then it gives

    signal to H-bridge.

    c) Step up transformer:Here we are using a transformer of 10v at its primary side and 250v at secondary.

    Also secondary transformer has a tapping of 220v and 250v.

    d) LC filter:This inverter contains the LC filter for filtration. It is having proper values of

    inductor and capacitor to give effective and proper output wave form.

    e) Output Port:It provides the output of 230v constant even if main supply fails.

    f) Sensing Circuit:Here one Relay is used for sensing that mains supply is on or off. If mains supply

    is fails this relay will trip and inverter automatically starts to give the Constant

    Output. A switching time of inverter is very less up to 0.5-1 sec.

    g) Battery:For backup we have used 2 batteries. Both having same ratings.2 batteries are of12 v, 3.5 AH.

    Electrical safety in case of battery: There is no danger of electric shock from a 12

    volt battery. But if the wind generators disconnected from the battery, and running fast,

    then the voltage will be higher than 12 volts, maybe as high as 50 volts. Do not run the

    Generator at high speed without a battery connected.

    from the main battery through voltage regulator IC 7805. We used only 4 output pin and

    Vcc of the controller for switching the mosfet to generate the Output signal. SPWM can

    be generated through the programming of controller. And look up table for SPWM

    technique can be made up from the PC software PSIM. From this software we can get the

    intersection points of the carrier waves and Sine wave which can be shown below. From

    that software we can get SPWM look up table also it is shown below.

    has internal pull-ups. Port 0 also receives the code bytes during Flash programming, and

    outputs the code bytes during program verification. External pull-ups are required during

    program verification.

    Port 1

    Port 1 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 1 output

    buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 1 pins they are pulled

    high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 1 pins that are

    externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port

    1 also receives the low-order address bytes during Flash programming and verification.

    RST

    Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles while the oscillator is

    running resets the device.

    ALE/PROG

    Address Latch Enable output pulse for latching the low byte of the address during

    accesses to external memory. This pin is also the program pulse input (PROG) during

    Flash programming. In normal operation ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6 the

    oscillator frequency, and may be used for external timing or clocking purposes. Note,

    however, that one ALE pulse is skipped during each access to external Data Memory. If

    desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0 of SFR location 8EH. With the bit

    set, ALE is active only during a MOVX or MOVC instruction. Otherwise, the pin is

    weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has no effect if the microcontroller is in

    external execution mode.

    PSEN

    Program Store Enable is the read strobe to external program memory. When the

    AT89C51 is executing code from external program memory, PSEN is activated twice each

    machine cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during each access to

    external data memory.

    EA/VPP

    External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in order to enable the device

    to fetch code from external program memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH.

    Note, however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be internally latched on reset. EA

    should be strapped to VCC for internal program executions. This pin also receives the 12-

    volt programming enable voltage (VPP) during Flash programming, for parts that require

    12-volt VPP.

    XTAL1

    Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating

    circuit.

    There are 2 mosfet named IRF3205 are connected in half-bridge. Which are given to

    the 2 IC TLP250 and output of the controller is also fed to this IC. Outputs of ICs aregiven to the mosfet which are connected in Half-Bridge. Also battery supply is fed to all

    the mosfet. Finally output is given to transformer and that can be filtered by LC filter.

    Output waveform is shown in fig.

    The power circuit topology and output voltage of half bridge inverter is shown in

    Figure. The inverter circuit consists of two controlled static switching elements. The

    switching elements can be BJT, MOSFET, and IGBT. The switching elements are labeled

    Q1 and Q2 and each of switches has an anti-parallel diode.

    It is evident from the presence of the diodes that the switching devices Q1 and Q2

    need not have the capability to block the reverse voltages. If the switching element is

    power MOSFET, there may not be a need to use the anti-parallel diodes because the

    devices structure has an anti-parallel diode. The basis operation of half bridge inverter can

    be divided into two operations. If switch Q1 turned on for period ofT/2, the instantaneous

    output voltage across the load equal to Vdc/2. If switch Q2 turned on for period ofT/2 to T,

    the instantaneous output voltage

    Vdc/2 will appear.

    The switching strategy for switch Q1 and switch Q2 must be designed to make

    sure both switches not turn on at the same time. If that happens, it is equivalent to a short

    circuit across the DC input, resulting in excessive current and possible damage to the

    switching element.

    6.9.6 Lc Filter

    The power circuit section is composed of four parts namely half bridge inverter

    circuit, DC power supply, LCfilter and load. SPWM inverters include semiconductor

    devices with nonlinear characteristics and can generate dominant harmonics in the system.

    The waveform quality of the sensitive load is improved by putting an LC filter at the

    output of the SPWM inverter. In order to design an LC filter, there are many methods

    available. Optimum performance can be obtained by using in simulation and experimental

    studies. A rule of thumb in control theory is that the frequencies of such a configuration

    have to have at least a factor of 10 between them to decouple the effects. According to this

    rule, for 50-Hz fundamental frequency, resonance frequency has to be at least 500-Hz,

    pulse frequency of the inverter output has to be at least5000-Hz. Resonance frequency isdetermined by the product of L and C.

    6.9.10 About Battery (Volts, Amps and Watts)

    Watts are the units of power. A hairdryer full-on might be 500 watts; on the low-

    power setting it might be 200 watts. Higher the power the bigger the charger. Voltage

    must be matched to the equipment in use and will be either 12 volts or 24 volts in a boat.

    Current indicates the flow of energy from the battery and is measured in amperes (or

    amps). Zero current and the battery are not discharging. The higher the current the fasterthe battery will discharge.

    A battery is rated in AmpereHour (abbreviated Ah) and this is called the battery

    Capacity. For example, a small boat might have a 12 volt 100Ah battery. This battery will

    Provide 100 AMPERE-HOURS before needing to be re-charged. This may be taken from

    the

    Battery as

    1 AMP for 100 hours

    2 AMPS for 50 hours

    10 AMPS for 10 hours etc.

    WATTS are VOLTAGE multiplied by CURRENT, so taking the above example

    with the 12 volt Battery

    1 AMP x 12 VOLTS = 12 WATTS for 100 hours

    2 AMPS x 12 VOLTS = 24 WATTS for 50 hours

    10 AMPS x 12 VOLTS = 120 WATTS for 10 hours.

    6.9.11 Battery size calculation

    The backup time is simply the number of hours, Inverter will be able to run

    Lighting load, during Power Failure.

    The backup time in hours can be calculated using following Formula:

    Backup Time =AH x 12V x N x P.F. x Efficiency of Battery (0.9)

    Load in (VA)

    Where,

    AH stands for Ampere Hour Capacity of Battery

    N stands for Number of 12 V Batteries needed

    P.F. stands for Power Factor of Inverter

    EFF stands for Efficiency of Battery

    Load stands for Number of Tubes and Fans

    6.9.12 Battery Recharging

    Re-charging a battery follows the same principle. The requirement is usually to re-

    charge the battery over-night - say in 10 hours. Because a battery is not totally efficient at

    converting electrical energy into chemical energy and vice-versa, re-charging a 100Ah

    battery requires about 120Ah to be put back into it, and this can be achieved by either

    120 Amp-hours / 10 hours = 12 Amps for 10 hours

    120 Amp-hours / 15 hours = 8 Amps for 15 hours

    120 Amp-hours / 24 hours =5 Amps for 24 hours etc.

    Current = watts / volts therefore if, say, the lights add up to 36 WATTS and the battery

    Voltage is 12 Volts then The Current taken from the battery will be

    36 Watts / 12 Volts = 3 Amps

    If these lights are on whilst the battery is being charged, then the battery charger

    must also provide an extra 3 AMPS to power them.

    6.9.13 Use of inverter

    Inverter should be noted that the use of items:

    Do not bring inductive load, such as the Counter, fluorescent lights, air-conditioning so as to avoid damage.

    Inverters output load control is about 60% of the best, most reliable. Inverter with load is too light (for example, 1000VA, UPS with 100VA load) may

    cause the battery depth of discharge, will reduce the battery life, should be

    avoided.

    Appropriate discharge, contribute to the activation of cells, such as the long-termnon-stop electricity, every three months to be artificially cut off electricity to use

    UPS with a load-discharge time, so you can extend battery life.

    For most small Inverter, to work to open Inverter, with load at boot time to avoidstartup, work should be shut down Inverter; for network computer room UPS,

    because most of the network is 24 hours, so Inverter must also be running around

    the clock.

    Inverter charge promptly after discharge to prevent battery damage due toexcessive self-discharge.

    There is low environmental impact. There is no air pollution after manufacture. A massive tower structure is less frequently used, as

    VAWTs are more frequently mounted with the lower bearing

    mounted near the ground.

    Designs without yaw mechanisms are possible with fixedpitch rotor designs.

    The generator of a VAWT can be located nearer theground, making it easier to maintain the moving parts.

    VAWTs have lower wind startup speeds than HAWTs.Typically, they start creating electricity at 6 m.p.h. (10 km/h).

    VAWTs may be built at locations where taller structuresare prohibited.

    These are well proven and occupy a relatively smallamount of land in proportion to their electrical output.

    VAWTs situated close to the ground can take advantageof locations where mesas, hilltops, ridgelines, and passes funnel

    the wind and increase wind velocity.

    Modern wind energy converter systems can be set up forindividual houses, or as part of an electricity grid system

    interconnected with other types of generating plant.

    Because of their smaller footprint, vertical axis turbinesare the perfect solution for the urban setting.

    Types of wind turbines

    1. Horizontal axis(HAWT)

    2. Vertical axis(VAWT)

    Problem with HAWT:

    The tall towers and

    blades up to 45 meters

    long are difficult to

    transport.

    Transportation can

    now amount to 20% of

    equipment costs.

    Reflections from tall

    HAWTs may affect side

    lobes of radar

    installations creating

    signal clutter, although

    filtering can suppress it.

    HAWTs require an

    additional yaw control

    mechanism to turn the

    blades and nacelle

    toward the wind.

    In order to minimize

    fatigue loads due towake turbulence, wind

    turbines are usually

    sited a distance of 5

    rotor diameters away

    from each other, but

    the spacing depends on

    the manufacturer and

    the turbine model.

    This means that even if you live in an apartment in themiddle of a bustling city, you can quite easily and practically fit

    a vertical axis wind turbine to your building without causing too

    much disruption

    They also have a number of features attached to them thatmake them much more attractive if one thinks of the usual

    objections towards horizontal axis turbines.

    In this second post of a very short series, we will look atthese features, and the advantages that make vertical axis

    turbines a real alternative to the conventional kind.

    When it comes to planning applications, it may be a loteasier to get planning permission for a vertical axis wind turbine,

    simply due to the fact that it does not take up as much space, and

    in the built environment that is always an advantage.

    They emit less noise. There is now ay around this, andthis will annoy those who own horizontal axis turbines. The

    vertical turbines do officially make less noise than their

    horizontal counterparts. This is obviously a bug winner for some

    people, and answers one of the bigger arguments against wind

    power outlined in the previous post.

    When it comes to wildlife, a vertical axis turbineprovides less of a danger to birds, who will most probably not fly

    into one. With a horizontal wind turbine, there is always the

    chance that birds will fall foul of the machine, and therefore this

    has another impact on the environment.

    Problem with HAWT:

    Tall HAWTs are difficult

    to install, needing very

    tall and expensive

    cranes and skilled

    operators.

    Massive tower

    construction is required

    to support the heavy

    blades, gearbox, and

    generator.

    Their height makes

    them obtrusively visible

    across large areas,

    disrupting the

    appearance of the

    landscape and

    sometimes creating

    local opposition.

    Downwind variants

    suffer from fatigue and

    structural failure

    caused by turbulence

    when a blade passes

    through the tower's

    wind shadow (for this

    reason, the majority of

    HAWTs use an upwind

    design, with the rotor

    facing the wind in front

    of the tower).

    A VAWT that uses guy-wires to hold it in place puts stress on the bottom bearingas all the weight of the rotor is on the bearing. Guy wires attached to the top

    bearing increase downward thrust in wind gusts. Solving this problem requires a

    superstructure to hold a top bearing in place to eliminate the downward thrusts of

    gust events in guy wired models.

    The stress in each blade due to wind loading changes sign twice during eachrevolution as the apparent wind direction moves through 360 degrees. This

    reversal of the stress increases the likelihood of blade failure by fatigue. While VAWTs' components are located on the ground, they are also located under

    the weight of the structure above it, which can make changing out parts very

    difficult without dismantling the structure, if not designed properly.

    First, most of the turbines of this type only has an energy-producing capacitywhich is fifty percent less efficient than those produced by horizontal axis wind

    turbines. Because there is no tower structure required, they cannot take full

    advantage of the higher wind speeds that are available on higher, elevated

    locations.

    They also require energy to start the turning of blades due to their low startingtorque. They will have parts which are difficult to change without disassembling

    the entire turbine should it not be assembled properly.

    There is no doubt that the Vertical axis windmills are a high speed device of

    efficiency comparable to horizontal axis windmills.

    It seems likely that this device will find use in the conversion of wind energy to

    electric power especially if used on a large scale in conjunction with the grid.

    In fact a 200 kW turbine driving a generator is at present being tested in Canada.

    With such large devices it is quite feasible to have adequate control systems for

    starting and controlling the system.

    In India, however, the mean wind speeds are generally so low that it is unlikely

    that wind power can be economically converted to electric power for grid augmentation.

    The most practical use for wind power is likely to do direct water pumping for

    drinking water and minor irrigation purposes.

    The water pumping application generally implies high starting torque and low

    control costs.

    Hence it appears that Darrieus turbines arc not likely to be of much use in the

    Indian context.

    Single Phase Domestic Inverter is implemented and generated output near to sine

    wave. SPWM technique reduces harmonic of generated output of Single Phase Domestic

    Inverter which is required for Single Phase Domestic Electrical Appliances. SPWM

    technique is difficult to implement but it requires less component, hence less costly and

    viable for domestic use.
