Characteristics of Some Wind Turbines
• 1. Horizontal Axis Wind turbine Up wind and Down wind.
A. Down wind has advantage of self aligning (yaw) B. Disadvantages Shadowing by tower that increases
flexing of the blades which, decrease power, increases fatigue and noise.
C. Up wind Advantage More power, Smoother D. Disadvantages more complicated control
• 2. Vertical Axis, Darrieus • Advantage Heavy equipment on the ground. Lighter tower.• Disadvantage Blades close to the ground where the wind is
slower. Low starting torques. Hard to feather in high winds.

Wind Turbines
• Most wind turbines are up wind horizontal.• Many blades high torque and works well at low
wind speeds.• Two blades turn faster than 3 blades, less
turbulence. 3 blades smoother and installed the most. 3 blade weights more.

Effects of Variation of Wind Speed with Height on Stress
28ECEN2060
This leads to vibrations, noise, blade flexing and fatigue. Factors to 1.45 more power at top to bottom in example.
Maximum Rotor Efficiency
29ECEN2060
Betz limit 1/3 initial velocity
Blade Efficiency
30ECEN2060
Assume uniform velocity over the blade
To find the maximum power efficiency
Real Turbines
31ECEN2060
1 Best 80% of Betz limit more often 40% to 50% 2. Depends on ratio of rotor speed to wind speed. Often defined in terms of Tip speed.

35ECEN2060
Blade Speed Limits
• 1. Want to operate in the TSR of 4-6• 2. Example 40m blades 600kW ,14m/s, This leads
to 26 revolutions per minute and tip speed of 56m/s• 3. Required gear ratio to get to 1800rpm of 67.4 • 4. Wind Power of 2,112 kW to get 600kW or an
efficiency of 28%

Types of Generators
• 1. Synchronous Generators A. Fixed Speed Rotational speed N(rpm) = p = number of poles f = frequency for a three phase winding.
2. Induction Generators These generators have slip between the rotor speed and the speed of the rotating field in the stator.
41ECEN2060
Generators for Wind Turbines
• 1. A key issue is the variable of the wind speed and a need for nearly constant speed to achieve
50 or 60hz. • 2. Basic equations
• F= q(E + vxB) = qE + I xB and Vinduced = - = - ~ I
3. Note the current I is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field B and the force is proportional to the product B ∂B/∂t
3. Synchronous Generators
A. Need for constant speed to keep output at 60hz.

45ECEN2060
Induction Generator
• 1.Fixed windings on the rotor and does not require brushes or electrical contact with the rotor.
• 2. The rotor runs a little slower than the rotating field when operating as a motor and faster when it is working as a generator.
• 3. The induced current in the rotor conductors generate the magnetic fields that lead to the torques.

Note 3 phase driving current gives a rotating field when the currents are120 degrees out of phase
Synchronous speed Ns = 120 f/p where f is the frequency and pIs the number of poles.

52ECEN2060
Inductance Machine as Generator
53ECEN2060
1. The wind starts the machine as a motor until it gets above synchronous speed2. Can be connected to the grid or self excited with a capacitor and remnant
magnetic field. Set it to resonate with the Stator Inductance
Need for Speed Control
• 1. Want to operate with a tip speed ratio of 4-6 for maximum power and blade efficiency Cp
• 2. If direct connection to the grid need a fixed blade speed for phase and frequency control to match frequency on the grid if you have a fixed turbine to generator connection.
• 3. Need to shed power in high winds.
4. Use a gear box. • 5. Use pitch control of the blades • 6. Control of slip which in turn controls power.• 7. Doubly wound rotor.
54ECEN2060
Inductance Generator Speed Control
55ECEN2060
Examples of Speed Adjustments.
56ECEN2060
Control of the Number of Poles in the Stator
• 1. This can be done by changing the connections on the windings. For example two poles adjacent to each other can be connected to look like one. This is 1/2 the frequency for a fixed speed.
• 2. Change gear ratio.• 3. Varying the resistance seen by the rotor winding
varies the slip.• 4. Use an indirect connection to the grid by way of
an inverter AC to DC to AC(60hz.) This allows for variable frequency into the inverter and variable turbine speed.
