 INTRODUCTION

FIG-1.1

Windmill water pump is advice use wind energy to lift water by using
translation motion of wind to rotate the blades which connect by
rotor with gear that transfer the rotation motion of windmill to
reciprocating motion on crank shaft that act on reciprocating pump
to lift water by its motion.

The aim of the project is to provide the places that far from
electricity resources with product which can be use instead of
electrical pump in order to lift water from water harvesting to tanks
which can use in farming sector.

We can achieve this by using windmill water pump which use

renewable wind energy, moreover product preserve the green
environment of any additional pollution, by avoid residual harmful to
the environment.

 FEASIBILITY STUDY

FIG-1.2
a) Wind Speed:-
This is very important to the productivity of a windmill. The wind turbine only
produces power with the wind. The wind rotates the horizontal or vertical axis
and causes the generator shaft to sweep past the magnetic an electric current.
b) Blade Length:-
This is important as the blade length is proportional to the swept area. Larger
blades have a greater swept area and thus catch more wind. Because of this,
they may also have more torque.
c) Base Height:-
The height of the base affects the windmill immensely. If the windmill is higher,
it will become more productive as the altitude increases due to which increase
in winds speed.
d) Base Design:-
Some base design may be more stronger than others. Base is most important
during the construction of the windmill because not only they support the
windmill, but also they are subjected to their own weight and the drag of the
wind. If a tower having weak base is subjected to these elements, then it will
definitely collapse. Therefore, the base must be identical to ensure a fair
comparison.
e) Wind Energy-:
Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale. On the surface of the Earth, wind
consists of the bulk movement of air. In outer space, the solar wind is the
movement of gases or charged particles from the sun through space, while
planetary wind is the outgassing of light chemical elements from a planet's
atmosphere into space. Winds are commonly classified by their spatial scale,
their speed, and the types of forces that cause them, the regions in which they
occur, and their effect. The strongest observed winds on a planet in our solar
system occur on Neptune and Saturn. Winds have various aspect, one
important aspect is its velocity; another is the density of the gas involved;
another is the energy content or wind energy of wind.
f) Water Irrigation-:
Irrigation is the method in which a controlled amount of water is supplied to
plants at regular intervals for agriculture. It is used to assist in the growing of
agricultural crops, maintenance of landscapes, and revegetation of disturbed
soils in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall. Additionally,
Irrigation also has a few other uses in crop production, which include
protecting plants against frost, suppressing weed growth in grain fields and
preventing soll consolidation. In contrast, agriculture that relies only on direct
rainfall is referred to as rain-fedor dry land farming,
g) Background-:
The new way so fusing the energy of the wind eventually spread around the
world. By the 11th century, people in the middle east used windmills
extensively for food production. Returning merchants and crusaders carried
this idea back to Europe. The Dutch refined the windmill and adapted it ford
raining lakes and marshes in the Rhine river delta. When settlers took this
technology to the new world in the late 19th century, they began using
windmills to pump water for farms and ranches and later to generate
electricity for homes and industry.
h) Need of Windmill-:
In today's world, we need to move away from burning limited fossil fuel
reserves to more sustainable and renewable - sources of energy. Wind power
is a well proven and cost-effective technology and expected to be the main
way in which industry responds to the government's targets-so becoming and
an important source of electricity and water pumping in years to come.
 FACILITIES REQUIRED FOR PROPOSED
WORK

FIG-1.3
a. Site Selection considerations:-
The power available in the wind increases rapidly with the speed; hence wind
energy conversion machines should be placed in areas where the winds are
strong & endless. The following point have to be understand while selecting
site for Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS).

b. High annual average wind speed:-

The wind velocity is the most important parameter. The power in the wind Pw,
through a given X – section area for a uniform Velocity of wind is given as :
Pw= KV^3 (K is constant)
It is important, because of the cubic dependence on velocity of wind. Small
increases in V affect the power in the wind E.g. doubling V, increases Pw by a
factor of 8.
c. Availability of wind V(t) curve at the proposed site:-
This availability of wind curve help us to determine the maximum energy in the
wind and hence it is desirable to have average speed of wind V such that V ≥
12-16km/hr i.e. (3.5 – 4.5 m/sec).

d. Wind structures at the proposed site:-

Wind notably near the ground is turbulent and gusty, & changes rapidly in
direction and in velocity. This separation from homogeneous flow is called as
“the structure of the wind”.

e. Altitude of the proposed site:-

It affects the air density and thus the power in the wind & hence a useful WECS
electric power o/p. The wind tends to have higher velocities at higher altitudes.

f. Local Ecology:-
If the surface is naked rock it may mean lower hub heights hence lower cost of
structure, if trees or grass or venations are present. All of these tends to de-
structure the wind.

g. Nearness of site to local centre/users:-

This criterion decreases length of transmission line, hence losses & costs.

h. Nature of ground:-
Ground condition should be such that the foundations for WECs are secured,
surface of ground should be stable.
 SOFTWARE/HARDWARE REQUIRED FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT

The project required using many software’s, some of the team members were
familiar with and other not quite. The senior design project developed the
team’s skills in designing as it was not easy to design the wind turbine. Other
software’s such as Microsoft Word, Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint were
essential in the team’s development. Some software’s were already known and
familiar to the team but the skills and knowledge required for them did
substantially increase and develop.
While working on the project, many problems were faced but got solved
eventually. These problems provided some skills, knowledge and experience of
how to handle problems to find the appropriate solutions within a minimum
time. Many issues required the use of critical thinking skills to solve, such as to
select the right materials, tools, design, find good machinist and the purchase
of some tools from abroad. In fact, these problems made the team gain
experience to face any future obstacles in the project. The project achieved
great impact on the social, environment, and economy. Each impact is
explained in details next. Here comes one of the important sources that had to
be taken into consideration, which is the impact of the society. The main goal
basically is to provide good and healthy impact on the society. There are
several applications for the project to be used, for example; telecom towers,
offshore platforms and other purposes that require energy where there is no
electric grid. Wind turbine is increasingly being used worldwide as an
important contribution to renewable energy. The development of this project
might lead to environment impacts, such as noise pollution, bird and bat
fatalities, greenhouse gas emissions and land surface impacts. This project is
going to provide a good impact to prevent all these problems. Electricity and
pumping water are really hard to find in some places such as India, especially
in the remote area. According to this problem, the group designed the project
to fix this issue by pumping water through an electrical pump via the power
that comes from the wind.
