Wind generator setup is designed for autonomous
power supply of consumers without access to the networks of centralized power
The
urgent need for a wind generator setup is ripe because the modern world is
characterized, unfortunately, a sharp increase in emergency situations in the
energy supply system. This is due to the increase of negative factors such as
terrorism, local wars, global climate change, leading to natural and man-made
disasters, etc. In addition, the need for such facilities has matured and
because of recently there has been a very rapid growth of many economies and
the world's population as a whole, increasing the area and the newly developed
areas. These factors have a significant increase in energy consumption.
However, the increasing demand for electricity is significantly ahead of
capacity growth opportunities for its production and transportation.
In
addition, there are many other areas where it is necessary to use a reliable
and efficient stand-alone power source. For example, to provide clean electric
power of national parks and protected areas, and other strictly protected
areas. Use existing conventional wind turbines can not be for the purpose.
The
main features of the proposed wind generator setup:
1.
The unit is designed to the
specifications of the wind flow. However, the most effective use of the
installation in such conditions, when the wind flow erratic, impulsive,
low-pressure, variable in strength and direction, having a barrage as well as
horse or grassroots character. It would work especially well in repelling
winds, ie, when the wind comes from the spaces (steppe or sea) and is
distributed in a wooded, mountainous (hilly) or urban areas.Little wind flow
prevails over most of the Earth's land surface, and it is particularly
characteristic of the traditional places of human habitation and/or which could
be used wind turbines. The plant will operate and generate electricity at wind
speeds ranging from almost the quietest. The upper margin of the wind speed is
limited only by structural features. Installation does not require its
withdrawal from under wind load and/or stopping in cases where the wind has
storm or even a hurricane values. Moreover, under such conditions the
electricity generation will continue.
2.
Installation is relatively safe and
can be operated in close proximity to consumers.Since it lacks any visible
rotating structural elements, it will not have a negative visual impact and
spoiling the natural landscape.The occupied area of the installation is
minimized, and (depending on the design), on average 0.2-0.4 sq. meter of
surface per 1 kW of electricity generated.In urban areas, for example, the
installation data can be safely placed on the roofs of buildings and structures
(as some of the existing and under construction), as well as they can go and
how the energy flow in the designed architectural buildings, especially tall.In
addition, they can be placed on a green and forested areas in the courtyards of
buildings, as part of the ensemble of the square and gardens. Externally, they
can fit harmoniously into the surrounding landscape.
3.
In the process of developing this
set except for the reliability and safety is also a goal to create a relatively
inexpensive source of electric current.Therefore, the plant design used only
well-known and developed human practice for many generations of simple devices,
components and mechanisms.It is assumed that the efficiency of the device will
be kept at ambient temperatures of minus 70 to plus 60 degrees Celsius.There
may be more severe operating conditions when making amendments to them in the
design at the design stage.All the elements, directly responsible for the
production of electric current, are arranged on the surface of the earth and so
the installation is easy to maintain, maintainability, and is characterized by
low operating costs. It contains no parts scarce and, in principle, does not
require the creation of new materials, mechanisms and components, i.e. This new
vision of how to produce and use the waste in practice designs for different
applications.For the same reason the cost of the production of these wind
generator units is not great and it is expected in the range 1500 - 2500 rubles
for each kilowatt of installed capacity, depending on their production
seriality and design features.This is significantly lower than the prevailing
price of the hydropower market.
Given
the above it can be assumed that the proposed development of a wind turbine
could find application for: a) increase energy security and reliability of
electricity supply in the settlements; b) the creation of reserve capacity; c)
reduction of loads on the distribution network at the time of peak demand
power, and d) of the backup power supply for the lighting of entrances of
houses and other buildings and structures, as well as the adjacent areas; d)
the organization of temporary, emergency and / or local power supply network,
for example, emergency or military purposes; e) provide electrical energy
reserved, security and/or newly developed areas and territories, etc.For the
technologies which is based on the use of non-renewable fuel resources,
sometimes crucial to high performance. With regard to technologies based on
renewable energy sources, it is quite acceptable low initial efficiency,
provided that the cost of creating installations that use these technologies
will be relatively small.As practice shows, the accumulated experience, in
which the effectiveness and cost of facilities are improving in the operation
of new plants.
Power
wind generator setup is determined solely by the estimated wind speed, the
rotor geometric dimensions (windeccepting device) and the efficient use of wind
power.
Wind
generator setup of any type should be power limitation system. The power factor
determines the efficiency of energy extraction from the wind flow and to some
extent characterizes the design of the rotor.
Stand-alone
wind power and standby low-power systems should be based on the uninterruptible
power supply circuit with the buffer-storage. This power wind generator
installation, the inverter power and capacity of the AB must be balanced
against the wind potential of the area and loads of character.
Beneficial
use of wind energy can under the conditions of the average annual wind speed of
5 m / sec or unstable supply of electricity. Use VSU to heat your home is
useful when the average wind speed of 5-6 m / s. When rain or snow windmill
power is reduced by 10-30%.The smaller propeller blades, then the higher the
efficiency.
Do
not get involved in the search for wind turbines, starting work at low wind
speeds - up to 3 m / s, as its energy is negligible at these wind speeds. For
example, for wind turbines with a diameter of the screw 5 m the power output at
a wind speed of 2 m / s to less than 30 watts (minus half of the power goes to
bearing friction and other losses, and the remaining 15 W - nothing, since
charging a battery capacity 50 A / h must be 70 W).
Wind
turbines convert wind energy into electrical energy with high efficiency and
reliability. These settings are used for power supply to consumers, if the
network is unreliable or of poor quality:
·
country houses and cottages;
·
farms and estates;
·
telecommunication facilities, etc.
Production
of electrical energy using a wind turbine has significant advantages: does not
require any fuel, no pollution, no noise. Electricity generated by wind
generator, can easily light up a room, feed the TV, computer equipment, small
household appliances, communication equipment and power tools.
