This article is about wind powered electrical generators. For wind powered machinery used to grind grain or pump water, see Windmill and Windpump. A wind turbine is a device that converts the winds kinetic energy into electrical energy. Wind turbines are manufactured in a wide range of vertical and horizontal axis types. The smallest turbines are used for applications such as battery charging for auxiliary power for boats or caravans or to power traffic warning signs. Slightly larger turbines can be used for making contributions to a domestic power supply while selling unused power back to the utility supplier via the electrical grid. Arrays of large turbines, known as wind farms, are becoming an increasingly important source of intermittent renewable energy and are used by many countries as part of a strategy to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. Historyedit. James Blyths electricity generating wind turbine, photographed in 1. Wind power was probably used in Persia present day Iran about 5. AD. 1 The windwheel of Hero of Alexandria marks one of the first recorded instances of wind powering a machine in history. However, the first known practical wind power plants were built in Sistan, an Eastern province of Iran, from the 7th century. These Panemone were vertical axle windmills, which had long vertical drive shafts with rectangular blades. Made of six to twelve sails covered in reed matting or cloth material, these windmills were used to grind grain or draw up water, and were used in the gristmilling and sugarcane industries. Wind power first appeared in Europe during the Middle Ages. The first historical records of their use in England date to the 1. German crusaders taking their windmill making skills to Syria around 1. By the 1. 4th century, Dutch windmills were in use to drain areas of the Rhine delta. Advanced wind turbines were described by Croatian inventor Fausto Veranzio. In his book Machinae Novae 1. V shaped blades. The first electricity generating wind turbine was a battery charging machine installed in July 1. Scottish academic James Blyth to light his holiday home in Marykirk, Scotland. Some months later American inventor Charles F. Brush was able to build the first automatically operated wind turbine after consulting local University professors and colleagues Jacob S. Gibbs and Brinsley Coleberd and successfully getting the blueprints peer reviewed for electricity production in Cleveland, Ohio. Although Blyths turbine was considered uneconomical in the United Kingdom7 electricity generation by wind turbines was more cost effective in countries with widely scattered populations. The first automatically operated wind turbine, built in Cleveland in 1. Charles F. Brush. Libro Aprendizaje Y Memoria Un Enfoque Integral Pdf Files. It was 6. 0 feet 1. W generator. 8In Denmark by 1. MW. The largest machines were on 2. By 1. 90. 8 there were 7. United States from 5 k. W to 2. 5 k. W. Around the time of World War I, American windmill makers were producing 1. By the 1. 93. 0s, wind generators for electricity were common on farms, mostly in the United States where distribution systems had not yet been installed. In this period, high tensile steel was cheap, and the generators were placed atop prefabricated open steel lattice towers. A forerunner of modern horizontal axis wind generators was in service at Yalta, USSR in 1. This was a 1. 00 k. W generator on a 3. V distribution system. It was reported to have an annual capacity factor of 3. In the autumn of 1. Vermont. The Smith Putnam wind turbine only ran for 1,1. The unit was not repaired, because of shortage of materials during the war. The first utility grid connected wind turbine to operate in the UK was built by John Brown Company in 1. Orkney Islands. 71. Despite these diverse developments, developments in fossil fuel systems almost entirely eliminated any wind turbine systems larger than supermicro size. In the early 1. 97. Denmark spurred artisan mechanics to develop microturbines of 2. W. Organizing owners into associations and co operatives lead to the lobbying of the government and utilities and provided incentives for larger turbines throughout the 1. Local activists in Germany, nascent turbine manufacturers in Spain, and large investors in the United States in the early 1. Later companies formed in India and China. As of 2. 01. 2, Danish company Vestas is the worlds biggest wind turbine manufacturer. ResourceseditA quantitative measure of wind energy available at any location is called the Wind Power Density WPD. It is a calculation of the mean annual power available per square meter of swept area of a turbine, and is tabulated for different heights above ground. Calculation of wind power density includes the effect of wind velocity and air density. Color coded maps are prepared for a particular area described, for example, as Mean Annual Power Density at 5. Metres. In the United States, the results of the above calculation are included in an index developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and referred to as NREL CLASS. The larger the WPD, the higher it is rated by class. Classes range from Class 1 2. Class 7 8. 00 to 2. Commercial wind farms generally are sited in Class 3 or higher areas, although isolated points in an otherwise Class 1 area may be practical to exploit. Wind turbines are classified by the wind speed they are designed for, from class I to class IV, with A or B referring to the turbulence. Class. Avg Wind Speed msTurbulence. IA1. 01. 8IB1. 01.

Accordingly, Betzs law gives the maximal achievable extraction of wind power by a wind turbine as 1. The maximum theoretical power output of a wind machine is thus 1. If the effective area of the disk is A, and the wind velocity v, the maximum theoretical power output P is P1. A8. 27v. 3Adisplaystyle Pfrac 1. Afrac 82. 7rho v3A,where is the air density. As wind is free no fuel cost, wind to rotor efficiency including rotor blade friction and drag is one of many aspects impacting the final price of wind power. Further inefficiencies, such as gearbox losses, generator and converter losses, reduce the power delivered by a wind turbine. To protect components from undue wear, extracted power is held constant above the rated operating speed as theoretical power increases at the cube of wind speed, further reducing theoretical efficiency. In 2. 00. 1, commercial utility connected turbines deliver 7. Betz limit of power extractable from the wind, at rated operating speed. Efficiency can decrease slightly over time due to wear. Analysis of 3. 12. Denmark showed that half of the turbines had no decrease, while the other half saw a production decrease of 1. Vertical turbine designs have much lower efficiency than standard horizontal designs. The three primary types VAWT Savonius, HAWT towered VAWT Darrieus as they appear in operation. Wind turbines can rotate about either a horizontal or a vertical axis, the former being both older and more common. They can also include blades transparent or not2. Vertical designs produce less power and are less common. Horizontal axisedit. Components of a horizontal axis wind turbine gearbox, rotor shaft and brake assembly being lifted into position.
