Wind and Tidal Energy: Presented by

This document discusses wind and tidal energy. It provides information on how wind is generated, the classification and components of windmills, including the rotor, blades, generator, transmission and tower. It then discusses the utilization of wind power in India, including historical uses and current installed capacity. Problems with conventional wind turbines are outlined, such as bird deaths and noise. Finally, it introduces a new zero-blade wind turbine technology called SAPHONIAN that uses a 3D knot motion inspired by sailboats to harness energy more efficiently and overcome issues with traditional designs.

WIND ENERGY
HOW WIND IS GENERATED ?

 Due to the uneven distribution of heat energy from the sun creates pressure
difference between different regions.
 Warm air expands and rises up while cold air condenses and sinks, hence
resulting the flow of air and forms wind.
Classification of Wind mills :

 Wind turbines are classified into two types :


1. Horizontal axis :
• Most common wind turbines design.
• Axis being parallel to the ground, the axis of blade rotation is parallel to wind flow.
• Mostly are aero-turbine mill with 35% efficiency and farm mills with 15% efficiency.
2. Vertical axis :
• In this type, the shaft is vertical.
• The transmission and generator can be mounted at ground level allowing easier servicing
and lighter weight.
• Cost effective but less efficient in collecting energy.
Components of wind mill :

 ROTOR :
• The portion of the wind turbine that collects energy from wind is called rotor.
• It usually consists of two or more wooden or metal which rotates about an axis and depends on
wind speed and shape of blades.
 BLADES :
• It operates either on the principle of drag or lift.
• In drag design the wind literally pushes the blades out of the way and characterised by low
rotational speed and high torque.
• In lift design, it works on the same principle that enables airplanes, kites to fly. They have high
rotational speed.
 GENERATOR :
• It converts the turning motion of blades to electricity. Inside this component coils of wires are
rotated in the magnetic field to produce electricity.
 TRANSMISSION :
• Generator generally have rpm in the range of 40-400 rpm, whereas, generators require rpm in the
range of 1200-1800 rpm.
• Hence, most wind turbines require gearbox transmission to increase the rotation of the generator
to the speeds necessary for efficient electricity production.
 TOWER:
• It is a support structure on which a wind turbine is mounted. It also raises the wind turbine so that
its blades safely clears the ground and reach stronger winds at higher elevations.
• Studies also shows that the added cost of increasing tower is often justified by the added power
generated from the stronger winds.
UTILIZATION OF WIND POWER IN INDIA

 In ancient times :
Pumping of water
Processing of grains
 Present scenario
Total installed capacity has reached to 34.04 GW and total generation is
52.66 GWh in year 2017-18.
 Asia’s largest wind power plant named “Pavanshakti” has been commissioned
at Lamba near Porbandar in Gujrat in 1990.This plant has 50 WTG(wind
turbine generator) each 200KW capacity .
 India is the fifth largest producer of electricity through WTG in the world .
PROBLEMS IN CONVENTIONAL TURBINES

 Rotation of blades often kill birds.


 Vibrations can cause headache , nausea and other problems.
 Blade spinning scrambles TV and radio signals.
ZERO-BLADE TECHNOLOGY
The “SAPHONIAN” is a bladeless , rotationless and follows a back and forth 3-D
knot motion, largely inspired from sailboats, developed by “SAPHON” in Tunisia.

PRINCIPLE :
 It is inspired by the sailboat because sailboat is the only mechanism capable of
capturing and converting kinetic energy into mechanical energy for transportation
purpose.
 They are using a plan from 2D to 3D due to back and forth motion they are
harnessing the energy because they capture 2 times more wind than
conventional turbines .
 CONCEPT OF BIOMIMICRY : The motion of saphonian is just like a big eight(8)
in 3D and this motion is present in nature like bird fly and fish tail .
Advantages of zero-blade technology
 It is eco-friendly ,bird friendly as birds don’t try to pass through, no noisy as no
blades and so no rotation.
 They are capable of overcoming the Betz’s Limit and Saphon turbine is said to
be 2.3 times more efficient.
 The cost is expected to be 45% less than the conventional turbine due to fact
that there are no blades no hub and gear box on the units.
