WIND POWER PLANT

 

WIND POWER PLANT

Parts of Wind Turbine

Following are the different parts of the wind turbine:

  1. Blades
  2. Rotor
  3. Nacelle
  4. Gearbox and coupling (transmission system)
  5. Aero turbine
  6. Controller
  7. Electrical generator
  8. Supporting structure


The Rotor& Blade:

The blades are lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant material. The best materials are composites of fiberglass and reinforced plastic.

 Nacelle

A housing that contains all the components which are essential to operate the turbine efficiently is called a nacelle. It is mounted on top of a tower and includes gearboxesgenerators, low and high-speed shafts, controllers, and brakes.

Ø  Low-speed shaft

Ø  Brake

Ø  Gearbox

Ø  High-speed shaft

Ø  Generator

Ø  Anemometer

Ø  Wind vane

 

Important Key Points

Ø  The speed of the wind turns the blades of a rotor between 10 and 25 turns per minute.

Ø  Each turbine is made up of a mast between 20 m and 100 m according to the power of the machines.

Ø  Wind speeds of between 14 and 90 km/hour.

Ø  The electricity produced is generally stepped up to the voltage of the network 20 kV

Ø  The blades face the wind; this can be done with a wind direction sensor connected with a motorized head moving mechanism (or yaw).
