Double-axis wind turbines (or DAWTs) DAWT advantages: * Double-Axis Wind Turbine aerodynamics is the best of both sides. It s not draged. * No massive tower structure is needed. * As the rotor blades are vertical, no yaw mechanism is needed. * A DAWT can be located nearer the ground, making it easier to maintain the moving parts. * DAWTs have a higher airfoil pitch angle, giving improved aerodynamics while decreasing drag at low and high pressures. * Straight bladed DAWT designs with a square or rectangular crossection have a larger swept area for a given diameter than the circular swept area of HAWTs and VAWTs. * DAWTs have lower wind startup speeds than HAWTs and VAWTs. Typically, they start creating electricity at 6 mph (10 km/h). * DAWTs usually have a lower tip speed ratio and so are less likely to break in high winds. * DAWTs may be built at locations where taller structures (buildings, yacth, ship, or Hybrid yacth, Hybrid ship, etc…) are prohibited. * DAWTs situated close to the ground can take advantage of locations where mesas, hilltops, ridgelines, and passes funnel the wind and increase wind velocity. * DAWT blades are easily seen and avoided by birds. ——————————————————————- “There will be a whole forest of domestic turbines throughout the country – it will be so normal to have one on your home” Donnachadh McCarthy ================================== I am the sole designer of this invention, and declare it to be for …
The 1st stage of the WORLDS LARGEST WIND FARM opened in 2004.. 7 turbines make 25MW (!!!) That’s huge!!!!
making a car wheel parts alternator to make free electricity to build this mill but the completed mill with furling tail and 12V – 48V up to 2.5KW see ebay under “wind turbine build plans”
From Madison Gas Electric: “New neighbors moved onto some farms in northeast Iowa recently and at first, farm families weren’t sure what to think. After all, the neighbors were 26 stories tall. In this story, see MGE’s largest owned and operated wind farm. Neighboring families talk frankly about how they’ve been affected by the giant turbines. And learn how the landowners and the tiny Iowa community of Worth County will benefit from each turbine.” storybridge.tv
Andris E. Cukurs, Chief Executive Officer, North American Subsidiary of Suzlon Wind Energy Corporation was the opening keynote speaker for Darden’s 3rd annual Sustainability and Renewable Energy Forum sponsored by the Darden Energy Club. As CEO for Suzlon Wind Energy Corporation, Mr. Cukurs provides strategic direction for the North American Operations which includes more than 450 employees across 20 offices. Under his leadership the company has becomewind powerity in delivering wind power projects, with cumulative installtions totalling more than 1700 MW in 14 states across the nation. This event is also part of Darden’s Leadership Speaker Series and is introduced by Professor Richard Brownlee. Recorded on October 28, 2009.
Carsten Westergaard [Global Technology Director, Vestas] Abstract: Wind energy is a fascinating collection of multi-disciplinary engineering. Harvesting the wind efficiently, we have to understand the metrological conditions, the climate, and the turbulence induced by the landscape in order predict the lifetime performance parameters. We can design the turbines using all of our knowledge from civil, mechanical and electrical engineering to deliver a cost-efficient energy that can compete with other energy sources in todays modern society. Now, the goal of the United States is to have 20% of the electrical energy generated by wind. We will need to understand the logistic chain and the infrastructure required to install and operate turbines. Vestas currently has a fleet of more than 35000 turbines, and we are installing one turbine every four hours somewhere on the planet. Biography: Dr. Carsten Hein Westergaard earned his PhD in 1994 at the Danish Technical University. His dissertation titled: “PIV measurements of turbulent structures” encompassed optical computing and optical flow measurements. Part of his research was completed with Prof. Ronald Adrian at University of Illinois. He started his industrial career in wind technology as an aerodynamics blade designer. Through the years, he has been working with fluid and structure dynamics in many different industries. Joining Vestas Technology R&D, he started Vestas office on campus of the National Laboratory for …
