Introduction and Overview of Wind Turbine Design Challenges
The entire world is seeking more energy, including energy generated by wind power. In this course the authors analyze how wind power physics and related mathematics guide the design and manufacturing processes of windmill and wind turbines. They discuss how the electrical aspects and some generator design principles affect these processes and, specifically, their impact upon the design and manufacture of specific parts-hub, rotor, blade, gear box, shaft, and main frame.
What you will learn:
- Review basic components of wind turbine systems
- Examine design processes and considerations for the hub, main shaft, slewing ring, blades, gearbox and main frame
