Design and Development of Small Wind Turbine for Power Generation through High Velocity Exhaust Air

Abstract

Large Scale Wind Turbines (LSWTs) have been extensively examined for decades but very few studies have been conducted on the small-scale wind turbines (SSWTs) especially for the applications where artificial wind speed is of the order of few meters per second. This study provides systematic effort towards design and development of SSWTs aimed to operate at high wind speeds. In this project, such limitations are analyzed and ANSYS CFX analysis has been carried out to examine effect of exhaust air in atmosphere and when it strikes to blade. To overcome this limitation, a new concept is required to develop an efficient wind turbine which can retrofit in existing system without affecting the performance of the plant operation.
