    Abstract Wind force is still the most encouraging renewable energy in the year of 2013. The wind turbine system (WTS) began with a few tens of kilowatt power in the 1980s. Now, multi megawatt wind turbines are widely installed even up to 6–8 MW. There is a widespread use of wind turbines in the distribution networks and more and more wind power stations, acting as power plants, are connected directly to the transmission networks. As the grid penetration and power level of the wind turbines increase

    “A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy”. (1) The inventor of the first electric wind turbine was Clevelander Charles Brush, who ran his entire Euclid Avenue mansion off of one for 20 years, which later made the cover of Scientific American in 1888. (2) Although the use of alternate energy didn't rise a great deal afterward, this event did open the eyes for many environmentalists. Wind power is only one of our several “energy source[s] whose

    1.0-Architecture of Wind Turbines Wind turbines are commonly thought of not being complex; however, turbines are composed with much more than meets the eye. Starting at the base which has drastically changed and will continue to change as new technology arises. The base is the most important part of the wind turbine as it takes forces from all sides, and is the hardest part of a turbine to change because the whole turbine has to be taken down. With today 's technology the base can withstand loads

    Introduction: Wind turbines capture the energy of wind and transform it into kinetic energy that is then converted to electricity. Turbines are available in a range of sizes and designs and can either be free-standing, mounted on a building or integrated into a building structure (Pennycook, 2008). System types: There are basically two sorts of wind turbines: horizontal-axis design and vertical-axis design. Horizontal-axis wind turbines are the most common type used and can have various sizes

    Wind Turbines Wind turbines are a renewable energy they work by the wind turning the blade, the blade then turns a shaft inside the nacelle(the box at the top of the turbine), the shaft then goes into a gear box which increases the rotation speed, the generator then converts the rotational energy into electrical energy, the transformer then converts the electricity from around 700 volts to the right voltage for distribution which is usually 33,000 volts after all of these procedures, the national

    ENG 1050 –Materials Selection Report Abstract After careful considerations of material properties with the objectives of the research (minimise cost and weight), the material that would be most suitable for the wind turbine tower is low-alloy steel and for the blades, CFRP. Considering the design constraints, the tower is best designed with a hollow circle frame with 5m (inner) and 3m (outer) radius which translates to a material cost of $4.96 million (tower only) and weighs 7893 tonnes. CFRP is
