Wind Power Generation and Wind Turbine Design Wei Tong
Publisher: WIT Press / Computational Mechanics

HAWTs are the stereotypical “windmill” design with a main rotor shaft and generator atop a tower – the axis of rotation is parallel to the ground. The main purpose of a wind turbine is to generate energy and ultimately maximize energy generation from the local wind resource available. To achieve the cost effective goal Dagher's team had to innovate and create a new floating offshore wind turbine and platform design. The turbine design is called VolturnUS, a combination of the words volt, turn and U.S., a name that happens to be shared by Volturnus, the Roman god of the east wind. This is another significant step forward in the growth of the offshore wind power industry and it represents the first concrete-composite floating platform wind turbine to be deployed in the world. The 65-foot turbine is a one-eighth scale The more cost-effective floating wind farm approach should help keep electricity prices down to about 10 cents per kilowatt hour by 2020, which is competitive with other means of electricity production, Dagher said. -Efficient even in relatively low-wind conditions. Harnessing their collective industrial and academic expertise, the authors provide a comprehensive introduction to wind turbine design and wind farm planning for onshore and offshore wind-powered electricity generation. The “next-generation” 85kW wind turbines are perfect for any remote location with abundant wind. €�In Europe offshore wind turbines have a life of about twenty to thirty years. While it is its present operation it will be used to gather data to help improve the design of future floating turbines. -Australian designed & manufactured. €�Developing With such enormous untapped wind resources offered through offshore wind production the potential power that may be harnessed will quadruple. There are tons of Truth: The rotor is the “collector” in any wind turbine design. Much like a rooftop solar panel system, the Eco Whisper Turbine has a long lifespan (20+ years) and is clean, fuel-free electricity generation option for those who are located somewhere with favourable wind conditions. However these designs generate power only when faced into the wind. -Attractive design with a smaller blade span than 3-blade turbines.
