Design and Establishment of a Small Wind Turbine
Abstract
In the last century, with the increase in the human population, rapid industrialization, and the rapid increase in the use of electrical-electronic devices, the need for energy has increased rapidly. Wind turbines are highly preferred as renewable energy because they do not cause environmental pollution. In this study, the design and establishment of a small wind turbine with a power of 1.5 kW and its installation in the appropriate place are in Sakarya University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Technology, Sakarya, Turkey. The whole procedure is explained in detail. In addition, a Static analysis was made on the wind turbine pole using the Ansys program. Three blades are used in the wind turbine. Analysis of wind turbine blades is done with the Ansys program. The equivalent stress (Von-Mises) method was chosen for the total deformation of the wind turbine blades. This study will be a reference for those who will install this type of small wind turbine.
