Wind Power Generation and Wind Turbine Design Wei Tong

€�Existing wind turbines can run with winds as low as perhaps 7 or 8 mph. Advances in residential turbines make them more affordable and easier to use than ever. For example, according to the U.S. The next step in that partnership took place recently when the turbine was updated to test a new, state-of-the-art blade design. Current efforts are focused on the design of new vertical-axis wind turbine. NREL entered into a partnership with Alstom, a French power-generation company, in early 2011 when its ECO 100 wind turbine was installed at the NWTC for certification testing. The Skystream 3.7 has an improved design that allows it to perform at lower wind speeds. The part which is called as nacelle is rotating also to wind direction. The more random power generators that get plugged into the grid by legal mandates of NET METERING, the more difficult load management will be. In standard turbine design, wind energy is used to turn the unit's rotors, which then converts this type of power into electricity through powering machinery or sending it to generators. The modern turbines has only one certain position for wind(tilt and cones angle), that's why the new design can capture much more power in a sufficient way. This seems like a no-brainer considering the enormous possibilities for power generation that recent studies are highlighting. But our blade design lets us start generating power at 1.5mph and we don't use a starting motor,” says Steinke. AMERICA'S HOME FOR NEXT GENERATION ENERGY TECHNOLOGY. In its application to the Department of Energy, Dominion proposed designing, developing, and demonstrating a grid-connected, 12-megawatt offshore wind facility consisting of two Alstom six-megawatt turbines mounted on innovative foundations.
