  • 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.

Wind power can dramatically reduce the environmental impacts associated with power generated from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Electricity production is one of the largest sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States. Thus, adoption of wind power generating technologies has become a major way for the United States to diversify its energy portfolio and reach its expressed goal of 80% reduction in green house gas (GHG) emissions by the year 2050. The benefits of wind power plants include no fuel risk, no carbon dioxide emissions or air pollution, no hazardous waste production, and no need for mining, drilling or transportation of fuel (American Wind Energy Association, 2009a).

  • Chapter 1 History
    CHAPTER 1 HISTORY 1.0 INTRODUCTION Since early recorded history, people have been harnessing the energy of the wind. Wind energy propelled boats along the Nile River as early as 5000 B.C. By 200 B.C., simple windmills in China were pumping water, while vertical-axis windmills with woven reed sails were grinding grain in Persia and the Middle East. New ways of using the energy of the wind eventually spread around the world. By the 11th century, people in the Middle East were using windmills extensively for food production; returning merchants and crusaders carried this idea back to Europe. The Dutch refined the windmill and adapted it for draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta. When settlers took this technology to the New World in the late 19th century, they began using windmills to pump water for farms and ranches, and later, to generate electricity for homes and industry. Industrialization, first in Europe and later in America, led to a gradual decline in the use of windmills. The steam engine replaced European water-pumping windmills. In the 1930s, the Rural Electrification Administration's programs brought inexpensive electric power to most rural areas in the United States. However, industrialization also sparked the development of larger windmills to generate electricity. Commonly called wind turbines, these machines appeared in Denmark as early as 1890. In the 1940s the largest wind turbine of the time began operating on a Vermont hilltop known as Grandpa's Knob. This turbine, rated at 1.25 megawatts in winds of about 30 mph, fed electric power to the local utility network for several months during World War II.

  • Influence of the Resonance Characteristics of Free-Yaw Small Wind Turbines on the Performance
    Influence of the resonance characteristics of free-yaw small wind turbines on the performance Nadezda A. Afanasyeva1, Vitali V. Dudnik2, Vladimir L. Gaponov3 Don State Technical University, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation 1Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] (Received 7 September 2016; accepted 15 September 2016) Abstract. Variability of behavior within very short time periods is typical of a wind flow. Thus, the upwind horizontal axis wind turbine with passive yaw system represents a torsional oscillation system. The article aims to determine how the yaw oscillation impacts the wind turbine efficiency. Results of experimental study indicated that there are significant yaw angle fluctuations caused by a resonance phenomenon. Appearing of a resonant excitation leads to disproportional fluctuations of yaw angle about the mean value of 11.6° achieving the angle of 40°. Mathematical simulation of experimental wind turbine for conditions of observed phenomena showed a decrease of the efficiency at about 7 % achieving 47 % respectively. Keywords: horizontal axis wind turbine, passive yawing, torsional oscillation, wind turbine performance. 1. Introduction Wind energy is one of the most perspective renewable energy sources. Small wind turbine is an attractive alternative for off-grid electrification, both as stand-alone utility and in combination with other energy technologies. One obstacle for using a wind power is the instability of its speed and direction, and, consequently, of output electric power. At the same time, the wind has not only a long-term and seasonal variability, but also changes its behavior within very short periods of time (instantaneous velocity pulsations, wind gusts, etc.).

  • Hierarchical Control Strategies for Spatiotemporally Varying Systems with Application to Airborne Wind Energy
    HIERARCHICAL CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR SPATIOTEMPORALLY VARYING SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATION TO AIRBORNE WIND ENERGY by Alireza Bafandeh A dissertation submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering Charlotte 2018 Approved by: Dr. Christopher Vermillion Dr. Scott Kelly Dr. Russell Keanini Dr. Tao Hong Dr. Yogendra Kakad ii c 2018 Alireza Bafandeh ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Abstract ALIREZA BAFANDEH. Hierarchical Control Strategies for Spatiotemporally Varying Systems with Application to Airborne Wind Energy. (Under the direction of DR. CHRISTOPHER VERMILLION) Wind energy represents a leading renewable resource for the production of clean and sustainable electricity for on- and off-grid networks. Nevertheless, tower and foundation costs, which typically represent about 30 percent of the total installation cost of existing wind turbines, limit the operating altitude (hub height) of conventional turbines to no more than 220m. Consequently, conventional systems are not able to utilize significantly stronger winds that are present at higher altitudes. Airborne wind energy (AWE) systems eliminate both the tower and foundation by using tethers and a lifting body to reach higher altitudes where stronger wind exists. In the target installation sites, it is desirable to maximize the percentage of total energy generated from the wind, recognizing that the AWE system will need to be supplemented with conventional sources. This leads to two critical control challenges: (i) Optimizing the operating altitude of an AWE system to maximize the energy generated from the wind and (ii) developing a supervisory controller for an integrated AWE-battery-generator system, recognizing that the optimal control of the overall system requires strategic coordination of the three elements.
