DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF VERTICAL AXIS WIND MILL POWER GENERATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
approaches are needed to reduce growth in blade mass with blade length. With design focus on
turbine mass and cost for given performance, need arises for passive and active techniques to control the
flow and the loads on the blades/turbine. To maximize the overall system benefits of these techniques,
load control should be included from the onset. This research uses a optimization technique using the
micro-tabs and different materials like Steel , aluminum , GFRP composites is used to reduce such
weight. The well-defined model of wind blade is created and this will undergo for the analysis by ansys
software, and the results will compare with that of basic materials like steel and existing design. Also to
reduce the weight optimization via making ribsalso is used to modify the flow characteristics and can
give the controlled flow of wind which in fact to increases the aerodynamic efficiency by means of
composite materials. The thin airfoil blade is designed and performed with Ansys for the different
materials. With prototype fabrication of the wind blade was carried out. Due to this smart material like
glass fibre reinforced plastic with aluminum the rotor torque will increased. With this effect the overall
wind mill performance will increase.
