Development of a Wind Power Generation Experiment Device

Abstract:

This paper presents a multi-functional wind power generation apparatus, which is suitable for doing fundamental experiment in university laboratories. The laboratorial apparatus has features of being stable, visualized and convenient in exhibiting the entire process of wind power conversion and its utilization. Moreover, the experimental device can display the relationships between its output powers and several characteristic parameters, including wind speed, blade number, wings shape, wings length, pitch angle, load and tip-speed ratio, etc. The wind wheels adjustable performance was emphasized by changing the blade length, blade angle and blade number within the same hub. The wind power generation apparatus provides various options for many experimental projects and corresponding experimenters. Meanwhile, it meets different levels of experimental teaching requirements.
