Read More2022.9.5 Such construction will simplify wind turbine building and lower the noise produced by the windmill. Step motor produces stable voltage even on low rpm (200 rpm), which is a great advantage comparing to DC alternators/motors. DC motors require at least 10 to 15 times higher rpm to achieve similar power output.
Read More2023.10.19 Wind energy, or wind power, is created using a wind turbine, a device that channels the power of the wind to generate electricity. The wind blows the blades of the turbine, which are attached to a rotor. The rotor then spins a generator to create electricity. There are two types of wind turbines: the horizontal - axis wind turbines (HAWTs) and ...

Read More2020.1.7 Tim - The simple answer is: yes. So wind turbines have become a lot more efficient, and the best thing you can do to make a wind turbine more efficient is make it bigger. And that comes in two flavours. One of them is making the blades bigger, the bits that rotate - normally there are three of them - and the larger they are, the wider an area ...
Read More2021.7.21 Turbine owners receive payment from the energy consumer, whichever utility company buys their generated power. Depending on the PPA that both parties have agreed upon, the average payment is between $3,000 and $8,000 for each wind turbine. For the more powerful turbines that exceed 2Mw, the payments increase to $10,000+.
Read More2020.11.9 Just because a wind turbine has a capacity rating of 1.5 megawatts, that doesn't mean it will produce that much power in practice. Wind turbines commonly produce considerably less than rated capacity, which is the maximum amount of power it could produce if it ran all the time. For example, a 1.5-megawatt wind turbine with an efficiency
Read MoreReal wind turbines have very large blades, so they have gear boxes that increase the rotational speed (how fast the shaft spins). For example, the main shaft might turn only 22 times per minute, but the gears in the gearbox can use that power to make a smaller shaft turn up to 1500 times per minute, creating a lot more voltage! ...
