in this paper, in order to increase the efficiency, to reduce the cost and to prevent the failures of wind turbines, which lead to an extensive break down, a robust fault diagnosis system is proposed for v47/660kw wind turbine operated in manjil wind farm, gilan province, iran. according to the acquired data from iran wind turbine industry, common faults of the wind turbine such as sensor fault...

An isolated small wind turbine emulator based on a separately excited DC motor is developed to evaluate the performance of small wind turbine control strategies. The test rig consists of a 3HP separately excited DC motor coupled to a synchronous generator. A dump load is connected to the generator through a buck-boost converter controlled by a microcontroller. Wind turbine rotor and furling dyn...

The objective of this research is (1) to design and construct the wind turbine simulator based on the adjustable actual wind speed. (2) To investigate the wind distribution, and (3) tobe applied for testing the power output of the micro-wind turbine in the laboratory. Design and CAD drawing was applied to construct the wind turbine simulator prototype.The 3 phase induction motor with axial fan ...

We have developed a new wind turbine system that consists of a diffuser shroud with a broad-ring brim at the exit periphery and a wind turbine inside it. The shrouded wind turbine with a brimmed diffuser has demonstrated power augmentation by a factor of about 2–5 compared with a bare wind turbine, for a given turbine diameter and wind speed. This is because a low-pressure region, due to a stro...

the purpose of this study is to improve the aerodynamic performance of wind turbine blades, using the ball-spine inverse design method. the inverse design goal is to calculate a geometry corresponds to a given pressure distribution on its boundaries. by calculating the difference between the current and target pressure distributions, geometric boundaries are modified so that the pressure differ...

In the background of the offshore wind turbine monitoring applications, we analyzed the characteristics of the offshore wind turbine monitor and gave the architecture of the offshore wind turbine monitor system. We designed the system model of blade wear and vibration in offshore wind turbine, and combined with energy efficient data aggregation algorithm based on the specific application to mon...

Wind turbine is a technology which converting wind energy to electric power. Wind energy is easily accessible anywhere in the world and is one of renewable energy. However, in Kuala Terengganu, the lower average wind speed become one of the factors wind turbine has not been used widely as alternative method for generating the electric power. Thereby, small scale wind turbine which can generate ...

The forces on a turbine at extreme wind conditions when the turbine is parked is one of the most important design cases for the survivability of a turbine. In this work, the forces on a blade and its support arms have been measured on a 12 kW straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine at an open site. Two cases are tested: one during electrical braking of the turbine, which allows it to rotate ...

in this research paper, a 10 minute period measured wind speed data at 10 m, 30 m, and 40 m heights are presented for one of the major provinces of iran. four stations in khuzestan- abadan, hosseyneh, mahshahr, and shushtar- are analyzed to determine the potential of wind power generation in this province. from the primary evaluation and by determining mean wind speed and also the weibull funct...

Wind turbines are increasingly becoming significant components of power systems. To evaluate competing wind energy conversion technologies, a real-time Wind Turbine Emulator, which emulates the dynamic torque produced by an actual turbine has been developed. This is necessary since the real world performance of a wind turbine, subjected to variable wind conditions is more difficult to evaluate ...
