Background Since 2005, global wind installations more
than doubled.
All wind turbines installed worldwide aregenerating 260 Tega Watts hour (TWh) perannum, equaling more than 1.5 % of the
global electricity consumption.

Contd.Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC)estimated that the gross potential of 3000 MW of
electricity can be generated from wind energy in Nepal.
DANGRID, a Danish firm reported that 200 MW of potential electrical output with an annual energy production of 500 GWh can be produced betweenKagbeni and Chusang in Mustang district alone.

INTRODUCTION
Wind energy is a form of solar energy
Generation of air currents is a direct affect of the combination of two phenomena:circulation of hot air and earth rotation.
A wind turbine is a rotating machine whichconverts the kinetic energy of wind intomechanical energy

Types of turbine:Horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT)Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) have the mainrotor shaft and electrical generator at the top of atower, and must be pointed into the wind.
Vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT)VAWT have the main rotor shaft arranged verticallyand turbine does not need to be pointed into thewind to be effective.

HAWT & VAWT

Advantages of HAWTVariable blade pitch, which gives the turbineblades the optimum angle of attack.
Tall tower base allows access to stronger windin sites with wind shear & consistent lateral
wind loading

Disadvantages of HWAT The tall towers and blades up to 90 meters longare difficult to transport.
Tall HAWTs are difficult to install.
HAWTs require an additional yaw control
mechanism to turn the blades toward the wind

Advantages of VAWTA massive tower structure is less frequentlyused.
Designs without yaw mechanisms arepossible with fixed pitch rotor designs
VAWTs have lower wind startup speeds thanHAWTs

Disadvantages of VAWTLikelihood of blade failure by fatigue.
VAWTs may not produce as much energy at agiven site as a HAWT .
Changing out parts nearly impossible withoutdismantling the structure if not designedproperly.

Power in wind The output from the wind machine depends uponfollowing factors:
Wind velocity
The cross-sectional area swept by the rotorOverall efficiency of the wind power unit.
The power available in wind= 1/8* **d 2*v3. Where
,=density of air.d=diameter of the rotor.v=velocity of air.

Contd.
A rotating fan hits the air with its tilted wingsat an angle and if it is reversed, thats the
principle in our design. The flowing air strikes
the blades in our turbine rotating the blades.

Contd.Step IV: Fabricating the frame
Step V: All the parts were assembled and awind turbine was obtained
Step VI: A 12 Volts battery was employed to
excite the stator coil of the alternator. A 21Watts bulb was lighted.

However the output was considerably less ie.8.65 volts and 0.96 ampere in actual field dueto reasons below:
Owing to heavy weight and improper alignment of flywheel and pulley of the alternator
Due to eccentric rotation of the flywheel.
Due to high tension in the V-belt.
