  • Wind Power: Energy of the Future It’S Worth Thinking About
    Wind power: energy of the future It’s worth thinking about. »Energy appears to me to be the first and unique virtue of man.« Wilhelm von Humboldt 2 3 »With methods from the past, there will be no future.« Dr. Bodo Wilkens Wind power on the increase »Environmental protection is an opportunity and not a burden we have to carry.« Helmut Sihler When will the oil run out? Even if experts cannot agree on an exact date, one thing is certain: the era of fossil fuels is coming to an end. In the long term we depend on renewable sources of energy. This is an irrefutable fact, which has culminated in a growing ecological awareness in industry as well as in politics: whereas renewable sources of energy accounted for 4.2 percent of the total consumption of electricity in 1996, the year 2006 registered a proportion of 12 per- cent. And by 2020 this is to be pushed up to 30 percent. The growth of recent years has largely been due to the use of wind power. The speed of technical development over the past 15 years has brought a 20-fold rise in efficiency and right now wind power is the most economical regenerat- ive form there is to produce electricity. In this respect, Germany leads the world: since 1991 more than 19.460 wind power plants have been installed with a wind power capacity of 22.247 MW*. And there is more still planned for the future: away from the coastline, the offshore plants out at sea will secure future electricity supplies.

  • Exhibit 11R Drawings and Specifications of Gamesa Eolica
    Exhibit 11R Drawings and Specifications of Gamesa Eolica Wind Turbines The Applicant plans to use Gamesa G90 Wind Turbines at the Marble River Wind Farm (see enclosure #1, press announcement of purchase of Gamesa turbines). Gamesa is a leading company in the design, manufacturing, installation, operation and maintenance of wind turbines. In 2004, Gamesa was ranked second worldwide in a ranking of the Top 10 wind turbine manufacturers by BTM Consult, with a market share of 18.1%. In Spain, Gamesa Eólica is the leading manufacturer and supplier of wind turbines, with a market share of 56.8% in 2004. One of the partners in the Marble River Wind Farm, Acciona, has had a significant and successful history with Gamesa turbines. Gamesa has used the experience gained in its home market to develop a robust, adaptable wind turbine suitable for most wind conditions in the USA. Gamesa Wind US will carry out a major portion of the manufacturing of the wind turbines planned for Marble River in the Mid-Atlantic region, where Gamesa is already active in development and construction of wind energy projects. Gamesa G90 The Gamesa G90 is a 2-MW, three-bladed, upwind pitch regulated and active yaw wind turbine. The G90 has a blade length of 44m which, when added to the diameter of the hub, gives a total diameter of 90m and a swept area of 6362m2. The turbine blades are bolted to a hub at the low speed end of a 1:120 ratio gear box. Enclosure #2, G90-2.0MW, contains a picture of the G90 with a summary of the technical data.

  • Partially Enclosed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
    WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE PROJECT ID: BJS – WS14 Partially Enclosed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Major Qualifying Project 2013-2014 Paige Archinal, Jefferson Lee, Ryan Pollin, Mark Shooter 4/24/2014 1 Acknowledgments We would like to thank Professor Brian Savilonis for his guidance throughout this project. We would like to thank Herr Peter Hefti for providing and maintaining an excellent working environment and ensuring that we had everything we needed. We would especially like to thank Kevin Arruda and Matt Dipinto for their manufacturing expertise, without which we would certainly not have succeeded in producing a product. 2 Abstract Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) are a renewable energy technology suitable for low-speed and multidirectional wind environments. Their smaller scale and low cut-in speed make this technology well-adapted for distributed energy generation, but performance may still be improved. The addition of a partial enclosure across half the front-facing swept area has been suggested to improve the coefficient of performance, but it undermines the multidirectional functionality. To quantify its potential gains and examine ways to mitigate the losses of unidirectional functionality, a Savonius blade VAWT with an independently rotating enclosure with a passive tail vane control was designed, assembled, and experimentally tested. After analyzing the output of the system under various conditions, it was concluded that this particular enclosure shape drastically reduces the coefficient of performance of a VAWT with Savonius blades. However, the passive tail vane rotated the enclosure to the correct orientation from any offset position, enabling the potential benefits of an advantageous enclosure design in multidirectional wind environments.

  • The Wonder Years Episode & Music Guide
    The Wonder Years Episode & Music Guide “What would you do if I sang out of tune … would you stand up and walk out on me?" 6 seasons, 115 episodes and hundreds of great songs – this is “The Wonder Years”. This Episode & Music Guide offers a comprehensive overview of all the episodes and all the songs played during the show. The episode guide is based on the first complete TWY episode guide which was originally posted in the newsgroup rec.arts.tv in 1993. It was compiled by Kirk Golding with contributions by Kit Kimes. It was in turn based on the first TWY episode guide ever put together by Jerry Boyajian and posted in the newsgroup rec.arts.tv in September 1991. Both are used with permission. The music guide is the work of many people. Shane Hill and Dawayne Melancon corrected and inserted several songs. Kyle Gittins revised the list; Matt Wilson and Arno Hautala provided several corrections. It is close to complete but there are still a few blank spots. Used with permission. Main Title & Score "With a little help from my friends" -- Joe Cocker (originally by Lennon/McCartney) Original score composed by Stewart Levin (episodes 1-6), W.G. Snuffy Walden (episodes 1-46 and 63-114), Joel McNelly (episodes 20,21) and J. Peter Robinson (episodes 47-62). Season 1 (1988) 001 1.01 The Wonder Years (Pilot) (original air date: January 31, 1988) We are first introduced to Kevin. They begin Junior High, Winnie starts wearing contacts. Wayne keeps saying Winnie is Kevin's girlfriend - he goes off in the cafe and Winnie's brother, Brian, dies in Vietnam.

  • Wind Turbine Technology
    Wind Energy Technology WhatWhat worksworks && whatwhat doesndoesn’’tt Orientation Turbines can be categorized into two overarching classes based on the orientation of the rotor Vertical Axis Horizontal Axis Vertical Axis Turbines Disadvantages Advantages • Rotors generally near ground • Omnidirectional where wind poorer – Accepts wind from any • Centrifugal force stresses angle blades • Components can be • Poor self-starting capabilities mounted at ground level • Requires support at top of – Ease of service turbine rotor • Requires entire rotor to be – Lighter weight towers removed to replace bearings • Can theoretically use less • Overall poor performance and materials to capture the reliability same amount of wind • Have never been commercially successful Lift vs Drag VAWTs Lift Device “Darrieus” – Low solidity, aerofoil blades – More efficient than drag device Drag Device “Savonius” – High solidity, cup shapes are pushed by the wind – At best can capture only 15% of wind energy VAWT’s have not been commercially successful, yet… Every few years a new company comes along promising a revolutionary breakthrough in wind turbine design that is low cost, outperforms anything else on the market, and overcomes WindStor all of the previous problems Mag-Wind with VAWT’s. They can also usually be installed on a roof or in a city where wind is poor. WindTree Wind Wandler Capacity Factor Tip Speed Ratio Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines • Rotors are usually Up-wind of tower • Some machines have down-wind rotors, but only commercially available ones are small turbines Active vs. Passive Yaw • Active Yaw (all medium & large turbines produced today, & some small turbines from Europe) – Anemometer on nacelle tells controller which way to point rotor into the wind – Yaw drive turns gears to point rotor into wind • Passive Yaw (Most small turbines) – Wind forces alone direct rotor • Tail vanes • Downwind turbines Airfoil Nomenclature wind turbines use the same aerodynamic principals as aircraft Lift & Drag Forces • The Lift Force is perpendicular to the α = low direction of motion.
