Abstract:

The technology of harnessing wind energy through traditional three-bladed large wind turbines is in mature state. There are many disputes about the performance and availability of power output of the small wind turbines. The small wind turbines need improvement in technology for low speed starting behavior, enhancement in coefficient in performance, assured power output in low wind region. This work consists of development and field test performance of a non-conventional unidirectional co-axial two series rotors micro wind turbine to supply electricity for rural population. The unidirectional co-axial series rotor wind turbine consists of small rotors to replace a big rotor, mounted on a tilted long driveshaft at appropriate distances to face fresh wind, coupled to a direct drive generator. The developed turbine consists of two rotors, placed at suitable interval to avoid the wake effect. This work also includes field test performance and its analysis.
