12. 2. 1 Early History l 5000 BCE (before common era): Sailing ships on the Nile River were likely the first use of wind power l Hammurabi, ruler of Babylonia, used wind power for irrigation l Hero (Heron) created a wind-pumped organ l Persians created a Vertical Axis WT (VAWT) in the mid 7 th Century l 1191 AD: The English used wind turbines l 1270: Post-mill used in Holland l 1439: Corn-grinding in Holland l 1600: Tower mill with rotating top or cap l 1750: Dutch mill imported to America l 1850: American multiblade wind pump development; 6. 5 million until 1930; was produced in Heller-Allen Co. , Napoleon, Ohio l 1890: Danish 23 -meter diameter turbine produced electricity 060219
12. 2. 1 Later History l 1920: Early Twentieth Century saw wind-driven water-pumps commonly used in rural America, but the spread of electricity lines in 1930 s (Rural Electrification Act) caused their decline l 1925: Windcharger and Jacobs turbines popular for battery charging at 32 V; 32 Vdc appliances common for gas generators l 1940: 1250 k. W Rutland Vermont (Putnam) 53 m system (center) l 1957 -1960: 200 k. W Danish Gedser mill (right) l 1972: NASA/NSF wind turbine research l 1979: 2 MW NASA/DOE 61 m diameter turbine in NC l Now, many windfarms are in use worldwide 050217 http: //telosnet. com/wind/20 th. html
12. 2. 2 Types of Turbines: HAWT & VAWT l HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines) have the rotor spinning around a horizontal axis u The rotor vertical axis must turn to track the wind u Gyroscopic precession forces occur as the turbine turns to track the wind l VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind Turbines) have the rotor spinning around a vertical axis u This Savonius rotor will instantly extract energy regardless of the wind direction u The wind forces on the blades reverse each halfturn causing fatigue of the mountings u The two-phase design with the two sections at right angles to each other starts more easily n This is available in parts for experimenter 100223 Photo by F.

12. 2. 2 Location of Turbines: USA States l If wind projects are measured by commercial success, the Southeast USA isn’t the best area to use! l The Florida Keys would be a likely area to evaluate coastal breezes 2003 http: //telosnet. com/wind/recent. html http: //www. awea. org/projects/index. html, showing MW in each state 9/30/2007 100223
12. 2. 3 Small Wind Turbines: American l In 1854, patented wind pumpers were popular across the US, later spreading to other nations l By 1870, improvements made with sheet steel blades stamped to an aerodynamic contour l These turbines use 2 turns of the rotor to 1 stroke of the pump lift rod gear ratio to allow starting at a low wind speed l AEI states that there are some 30, 000 farm wind pumps in the Southern Great Plains at 0. 25 k. W each, or some 5 MW total l Typical present-day at www. ohio-windmill. com 100222

12. 2. 4. 1 Large Systems: Synchronous Generation l Initial matching of alternating current frequency/phase to the utility grid used induction alternators (the a. c. form of a generator) l Induction phase-matching to the grid required that the rotor turn synchronously with the utility power frequency, usually 1800 or 3600 rpm (multiples of 60 cycles per second l These fixed speeds meant that the blade operation efficiency varied greatly with the wind speed l The field frequency that provides generator magnetic fields can be dynamically changed with electronic conversion to produce synchronized output from a variable speed rotor 070221
12. 2. 4. 1 Large Systems: Asynchronous Generation l A return to asynchronous (variable speed) operation allowed the rotor speed to change with wind speed, avoiding many blade airflow inefficiencies l Electronic convertors were used to change the variable frequency and voltage, or “wild”, electricity to the standard; i. e. , 60 hertz u. Electronic conversion circuitry has decreased in price over the last decade as high power MOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors) became available u Single-phase can be converted to three-phase power 060221
12. 2. 4. 1 Offshore Wind Farms l Wind farms are often placed offshore a few miles because the winds are unimpeded (have a good “fetch”, or upwind distance, of the wind) l Depths of less than 60 feet are preferable l Undersea cables carry power to shore terminals l The turbines are clearly visible if close and often are attacked by NIMBYs who want their “viewscape” unblemished u. The proposed Cape Wind farm would appear a fingerwidth high at arm’s length n NIMBYs want only things found in nature like ships, yachts and windsurfers (John Kerry) in view 100223
12. 2. 4. 1 Offshore Wind Farms: UK l There are numerous wind fields established offshore where the wind speed is continuously high and unimpeded l Atlantic Ocean winds are strong here 060221 http: //www. offshorewindfarms. co. uk/sites. html

12. 2. 4. 1. 3 Cape Wind Politics l The Cape Wind Project http: //www. capewind. org/ of 170 turbines has many detractors who don’t want to see wind turbines on Horseshoe Shoal offshore of Cape Cod MA l Environmentalist organizations are divided as to lower GHGs with clean wind power instead of coal or possible bird/bat strikes or other disturbances l Greenpeace is supporting the project; Audubon and Humane Society protest it; Sierra Club waffles on it l Robert Kennedy, Jr. opposes the windfarm although the Natural Resources Defense League organization that employs him as their lawyer endorses windfarms l A heavily funded, posh website by http: //www. saveoursound. org/site/Page. Server protests the project 090309

12. 2. 5 Small Turbine Components http: //homepages. enterprise. net/hugh 0 piggott/download/windrotord. pdf l A small turbine has a free-spinning assembly that the wind turns in azimuth by pushing on the tail 060217
12. 2. 5. 1 Rotor Aerodynamics l The blades of an airplane propeller are curved on the front and flatter on the back towards the plane l The blades not only pull the plane forward by their angle, but the airflow over the curve develops lift or pulling forces that move the plane forward l Turbine rotors are reversed with the curve at the downwind side and with the angle of the blade reversed; wind hits the flatter side l A model airplane propeller can’t be used as a turbine blade since the key dimensions are backwards from a wind rotor l Possibly a propeller manufacturer could be persuaded to make a “standard” profile blade that could be used in 2 s, 3 s, or 4 s l Model helicopter blades can be used since they are just one bolt-on blade instead of a double-sided propeller; hub sets the angle 060219 http: //homepages. enterprise. net/hugh 0 piggott/download/windrotord. pdf
12. 2. 5. 2 Airfoils and their Design l Propellers pull the rotor into the air, which is why the British call them “airscrews” l Rotors for wind turbines are pushed by the wind, and use lift on the downwind side of the blades to pull them around the shaft faster l Blade numbers vary from 2 to perhaps 5 l Blade solidity is the percent of the disk area that is solid with blades l Thrust force is the force of the wind pressing back on the rotor that the tower must resist l Stall occurs when the airstream over the blade separates due to an excessive angle of attack 060219
12. 2. 5. 2. 1 Airfoils and their Design l Rpm = wind speed x tip-speed-ratio x 60 / (diameter x ); TSR often ~6 l Revolutions (rpm) = V x TSR x 60 / (2πR) l Bergey Windpower Co. uses an advanced pultruded blade shape made without a twist (below right) u. The plastic is stretched through a die to form the shape 080218
12. 2. 5. 2. 2 Airfoils Design: Tip Speed Ratio l The rotational tip speed divided by the wind speed yields the tip speed ratio or TSR l Drag rotors that have no lift always have a TSR of ~1 or less; they are just dragged around by the wind; Savonius or cup anemometer l Airfoil rotors gain “lift” from the wind flowing over the blade and can turn up to ~14 times the wind speed; a TSR of 6 is more likely l Matching the generator speed is helpful l The TSR should be low enough to keep the blade tip below ~135 mph to avoid loud noise 060219
12. 2. 5. 3 Lift and Drag Forces on Blade l Lift = Cl ρ/2 AV 2 l Drag = Cd ρ/2 AV 2; note similarity between lift and drag l Nominal lift and drag curves for the profile are used to select the values required l These curves are measured in a wind tunnel and can’t be computed 050224 www. windmission. dk
Resultant Force 12. 2. 5. 3. 1 Blade Angle and Wind Forces l The blade is moving rapidly and the direction of the relative wind changes with rotor speed Lift Force Chord Line Maximize F = L sin Θ – D cos Θ L Drag Force Thrust u Blade Pitch β Rotational Velocity D cos Θ L sin Θ Angle of Attack α Relat ive W ind, W V 1 = ~2/3 x wind velocity, V 0, due to slowed wind Wind 080228 Rotation Force, F φ
12. 2. 5. 3. 2 Prop vs. Rotor Lift Airplane Propeller Wind CW WT Rotor Wind Driven Motion Lift pulls Airplane Propeller Flipped Over Weak Motion; Backwards! Poor Lift Rotor “lift” helps pull rotor around CCW WT Rotor No good for rotor Motion Lift pulls An airplane propeller won’t work as a wind turbine rotor; it’s backwards 060219
12. 2. 5. 4 Blade Design l Since the relative wind near the hub is closer to the true wind speed, the pitch of the blade must be higher there l Near the tip, the pitch is just 0 -2 degrees and the blade is nearly parallel to the direction of rotation l Still, since so much of the torque comes from the end of the blade, suboptimal shapes that are designed without twist are often used for economic reasons l The angle is then optimized at about 80 -100% of the blade radius l The hub attachment must be very strong to resist flexing that would break the blade at the root l The leading edge is rounded so the wind “attaches” to the surface of the blade as the direction changes 080228
12. 2. 5. 4. 1 Blade Construction: Shape l The blade profile changes angle and shape from the root to the tip l. A knot-free plank is rough cut to get the outside shape l. Edges are marked and excess cut away l. A pattern is used to form each station along the blade l. The area between blades is cut away and sanding finishes the surface smoothly 090309 http: //homepages. enterprise. net/hugh 0 piggott/download/windrotord. pdf
12. 2. 5. 4. 2 Blade Construction: Shape l The blade profile changes angle and shape from the root to the tip l The width from nose to tail is called the chord l The thickness is from one side to the other in percent of chord; in NACA shape designation 4412 has a 12% thickness (NACA now NASA) l The round nose reduces the tendency to stall chord 080228 http: //homepages. enterprise. net/hugh 0 piggott/download/windrotord. pdf
12. 2. 5. 4. 3 Blade Construction: Shape l PE 9 is not as wide as the previous root profile, but is much larger than PE 15 at the tip l Note the slope is flatter 030306 http: //homepages. enterprise. net/hugh 0 piggott/download/windrotord. pdf
12. 2. 5. 4. 4 Blade Construction: Shape l These profiles must now be made in the material, perhaps by carving wood or grinding/molding plastic l Profile templates are made to test the remaining material l When slicing or planing off the wood, when it needs just one more stroke to be done, don’t do it! l Sand the profiles to smooth the shape and fair in the curves; the blades must weigh the same on each side l The blade root must remain as thick and strong as possible to avoid breaking in gusts l Coat the blades with thin polyurethane sanding sealer and then sand with fine 250 grit sandpaper l When finished, coat with two coats of polyurethane varnish to keep water out of the wood 060219 http: //homepages. enterprise. net/hugh 0 piggott/download/windrotord. pdf
12. 2. 5. 4. 5 Rotor Construction: Balance l The rotor support might be made from steel 4 -5/16 inch electrical box covers; these are strong and galvanized ($0. 85 each) l Some use a drilled pulley to bolt to the blades for strength l The center must attach to the generator shaft, and the blades attach to both plates, preventing blade canting from centrifugal force l With the blades somewhat loosely assembled, balance the hub plates horizontally on a point to detect a heavy blade l Next, measure the distance between the blade tips and move them slightly to equalize the distances between tips l Tighten the blade root bolts more, and fasten the rotor on a horizontal shaft in oiled bearings – perhaps a bicycle hub l If the rotor turns because one blade is heavier than the others, balancing is needed; trim the surface a little or swap blades l A temporary weight is placed on lighter blades to assess how much material is to be removed or in moving the blades in the bolt holes 080228
12. 2. 5. 5 Rotor Speed, Torque, and Power l Direct-drive generators or alternators avoid the losses of gearing or a belt transmission l The rotor is designed to turn at some optimum speed, and will perform less efficiently at lower or higher speeds l The generator must reach the required voltage at a reasonable rotor speed, thus must perform well at 200 to 600 rpm at perhaps the top 30% of wind speeds l If the generator is available first, design of the rotor blades must match the generator speed l If the rotor is available first, selection of the generator must match rotor speed l Rotor torque sets the starting speed, yet if the wind speed is too low to start spin, there is little wind power; don’t worry! 080228
12. 2. 6 RPM and Torque; Starting Speed l Power = Torque, Q, x Speed, Ω (omega) or N, so Torque = P/Ω l The rotor must overcome bearing resistance, residual unbalances, magnetic cogging attraction, etc. , and accelerate to a useful speed to generate charging power l During a gust of perhaps two to four seconds, the rotor must accelerate to a new speed to extract energy from the gust; light, small rotors can do this; 100 m ones can’t l Otherwise, the wind may cause airflow stall over the blades as the rotor angular momentum changes too slowly due to inertia l Momentary stall protects the turbine from throwing blades 090309
12. 2. 6. 1 Power Is Proportional to Wind Speed Cubed l Recall that the average wind power is based upon the average of the speed cubed for each occurrence l The wind energy varies from trivial to useful to disastrous! l Precautions are needed to protect the turbine l Energy is power times the time of energy persistence Ref. : Bergey 090309
12. 2. 6. 1. 1 Turbine Power Curves l Since power is negligible at low speeds of 6 mph or less, it doesn’t matter that the turbine won’t start then l The distribution of wind speeds indicates the relative probability that wind will exceed a given value l Much of the power occurs in the top 30% of the wind speeds, so these speeds set the design parameters l For this reason, it is desirable to keep the turbine extracting power in strong winds while still protecting it from damage l Large turbines are turned out of the wind at approximately 30 to 35 mph or their blades are turned (rotated) into the wind to produce less torque 050224

12. 2 Conclusion: Wind Turbine Theory l The rotor must be matched to the generator or alternator to obtain the maximum extracted energy over a year l Although most turbines won’t rotate until the wind speed reaches 6 mph; there is no significant energy lost below this speed; power is proportional to the cube of speed l If turbine placement can increase the wind speed by 10%, the power increases by 33% l All parts must be designed to survive high winds, say 130 mph; this is important to survive a hurricane u. We lowered our 10 -ft diameter turbine on Roberts Hall and removed the blades for Hurricane Jeanne u. The anemometer remains on the WFIT tower during hurricanes so speed can be read or logged 080228
