Introduction Use of wind energy for human purposes entails theconversion of the kinetic energy that is presentintermittently in the wind into mechanical energy, usuallyin the form of rotation of a shaft.
From there, the energy can be applied to mechanical workor further converted to electricity using a generator.
No location is continuously windy, and the power in thewind is highly variable, requiring provision both foralternative energy supplies during times of little or nowind, and means of protecting the wind energy conversiondevice from damage in times of extremely high wind.
World use of wind power has been growing rapidly as wellin recent years.

Early Wind Generators An early example:
Brush Electric Generator, Cleveland, OH, 1880s, 12kW Early adaptation of wind-powered mechanical pump to generatingelectricity
First attempt at > 1 MW turbine Smith-Putnam Turbine, Vermont, 1940s, 1.25 MW Failed prematurely, not repeated
Development of modern utility-scale turbine California, Denmark in 1970s and 1980s Experimentation with vertical axis turbines, but eventually settled onhorizontal axis design.

“Windmill”‐ used to grind grain into flour (or pumpwater in Holland)
Can have be horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) orvertical axis wind turbines (VAWT)
Groups of wind turbines are located in what is calledeither a “wind farm” or a “wind park”

How Lift Based Turbines Extract Energy from Fluid
Bernoulli’s Principle ‐ air pressure on top is lower thanair pressure on bottom because it has further to travel,creates lift
Airfoil – could be the wing of an airplane or the blade of a wind turbine

Dr. Anwar Abu-Zarifa . Islamic University Gaza . Department of Industrial Engineering
Angle of Attack, Lift, and DragIncreasing angle of attack increases lift, but it also increases drag
When angle of attack is too great, “stall” occurs where turbulence destroys the lift
10
Dr. Anwar Abu-Zarifa . Islamic University Gaza . Department of Industrial Engineering
Wind Turbines extract energy from the force of the wind on anaerofoil, in this case a turbine blade.
The relative motion between the air flow and the turbine blade,is the same as for the aircraft wing, but in this case the wind isin motion towards the turbine blades and the blades are passiveso that the external thrust provided by the moving air flow is inthe opposite direction to the thrust provided by the aircraftwing.
The turbine blades thus experience lift and drag forces, similarto the aircraft wing, which set the blades in motion transferringthe wind energy into the kinetic energy of the blades.
The turbine blades are connected to a single rotor shaft and theforce of the wind along the length of the blades creates a torquewhich turns the rotor.
As with aircraft wings, the magnitudes of the lift and drag onthe turbine blade are dependent on the angle of attack betweenthe apparent wind direction and the chord line of the blade.

More energy can be extracted from wind using lift rather than drag, but this requires specially shaped airfoil surfaces, like those used on airplane wings.

Vertical Axis Wind TurbinesDarrieus rotor ‐ the only vertical axis machine with anycommercial success
Wind hitting the vertical blades (airfoils) generates liftto create rotation
Advantages• No yaw (rotation about vertical axis)
control needed to keep facing into wind• Heavy machinery located on the ground
Disadvantage• Blades are closer to ground where
windspeeds are lower
15
Dr. Anwar Abu-Zarifa . Islamic University Gaza . Department of Industrial Engineering
Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines“Upwind” HAWT – blades are in front of (upwind of)the tower
Most modern wind turbines are this type
Because blades are “upwind” of the tower Require active yaw control to keep facing into wind Operate more smoothly and deliver more power

P (Watts) = power in the windρ (kg/m3)= air density (1.225kg/m3 at 15˚C and 1 atm)A (m2)= the cross-sectional area that wind passes throughv (m/s)= windspeed normal to A (1 m/s = 2.237 mph)

Dr. Anwar Abu-Zarifa . Islamic University Gaza . Department of Industrial Engineering
Power increases as (wind speed)3
Doubling the wind speed increases the power by eight 1h x 20mph wind is same energy as 8h x 10 mph wind
19
Dr. Anwar Abu-Zarifa . Islamic University Gaza . Department of Industrial Engineering
Power in the Wind (cont.)Power in the wind is also proportional to A
For a conventional HAWT, A = (π/4)D2, so wind power isproportional to the blade diameter squared
Cost is roughly proportional to blade diameter

mber of Rotating Bladesndmills have multiple bladesneed to provide high starting torque to overcome weight ofthe pumping rodmust be able to operate at low windspeeds to provide nearlycontinuous water pumpinga larger area of the rotor faces the wind
bines with many blades must operate at lowertational speeds – as speed increases, turbulenceused by one blade impacts other blades
imates of Wind Turbine Energyall of the power in the wind is retained ‐ the rotor spills high‐eed winds and low‐speed winds are too slow to overcomesses,ends on rotor, gearbox, generator, tower, controls, and thend
