Tinkering PPT Wind Generator

The document describes a student project to build a wind generator. A team of 4 students - Ayush Gumgaonkar, Ankita Agarwal, Meghna Pathy, and Meena - are creating the generator to demonstrate how wind energy can be used to produce electricity. The generator will have turbine blades attached to a tower that spin a shaft connected to an electric generator when wind hits the blades, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.

IDEATION AND INSPIRATION
FROM:

In this era of depleting natural resources, there's a huge need of finding another way
of producing energy . Thus we are trying to solve this problem by producing
electricity through wind energy. We are going to create a WIND GENERATOR,
where we will show how we can use wind to produce energy.This experiment is
based on conversion of WIND ENERGY into ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
DESCRIPTION:
Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like
a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades
of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.

MECHANISM OF GENERATOR
There is an air turbine of large blades attached on the top of a supporting tower of sufficient
height. When wind strikes on the turbine blades, the turbine rotates due to the design and
alignment of rotor blades. The shaft of the turbine is coupled with an electric generator The
output of the generator is collected through electric power cables.
HOW WIND GENERATOR
WORKS?
When the wind strikes the rotor blades, blades start rotating. The turbine rotor is connected to a high-
speed gearbox. Gearbox transforms the rotor rotation from low speed to high speed. The high-speed shaft
from the gearbox is coupled with the rotor of the generator and hence the electrical generator runs at a
higher speed. An exciter is needed to give the required excitation to the magnetic coil of the generator
field system so that it can generate the required electricity. The generated voltage at output terminals of
the alternator is proportional to both the speed and field flux of the alternator. The speed is governed by
wind power which is out of control. Hence to maintain uniformity of the output power from the
alternator, excitation must be controlled according to the availability of natural wind power. The exciter
current is controlled by a turbine controller which senses the wind speed. Then output voltage of
electrical generator(alternator) is given to a rectifier where the alternator output gets rectified to DC.
Then this rectified DC output is given to line converter unit to convert it into stabilized AC output which
is ultimately fed to either electrical transmission network or transmission grid with the help of
step up transformer. An extra units is used to give the power to internal auxiliaries of wind turbine (like
motor, battery etc.), this is called Internal Supply Unit.
There are other two control mechanisms attached to a modern big wind turbine.
•Controlling the orientation of the turbine blade.
•Controlling the orientation of the turbine face.
MATERIALS REQUIRED:

• Wire
• LED blub -1
• DC Motor -2 (One for generating electricity and one for generating wind energy)
• Turbines or fans -2
• Cardboard (props)
• Connectors -2
