Small Scale Wind Turbine: As Alternative Energy System

Megha Kumari | Hari Kr.Singh

Abstract: Wind is renewable source of energy which has been used for power generation since many centuries because wind is unbounded; fresh and unlimited. Development of wind power technologies has made wind energy one of the leading renewable sources of energy. Small scale wind turbines; with 100 kW of rated power have been used for several applications. In this paper; we discussed about state wise status; challenges; development of wind power and market for small scale wind turbine system in details. Additionally; the problem related to wind turbine capacity and installation are detailed for wind technology in India. Besides; Case Study- C-WET wind turbine introduced in Tamilnadu is additionally done. Similarly; small scale wind turbine model is created by wind turbine; battery load; diode rectifier and C60 charge controller. MATLAB simulation is used to create mathematical model and power generation is calculated with respect to wind speed. The results are represented in tubular and graphical form.

Keywords: Wind turbine, MATLAB simulation, C-WET wind turbine, wind power, wind speed
