The Wind Turbine Design and Test (original) (raw)

Green energy harvester, known as wind turbine, able to convert mechanical works to electrical power. There are two main type of wind turbine that considered thoroughly, which are the horizontal and vertical axis wind turbine respectively. This project mainly focus on the design of new wind turbine that can operate well together in low wind speed condition in Malaysia. For the first stage of this project, the problems, purpose, and planning regarding with the project properly determined. Literature survey then furthered analyzed in order to know the wind power or behavior across the world, and specifically in Malaysia, research of turbine that can work in low wind speed condition, as well as parameter that often used in designing wind turbine by previous researcher. From the literature survey, the selected turbine was a Three-Bladed Savonius Wind Turbine, which is one type of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). That turbine will be attached to another VAWT turbine system to help gener...
