RE 310 EDUCATIONAL WIND TURBINE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The unit is for a study of wind turbine characteristics.
The turbine consists of axial flow fan with speed control and flare entrance, a wind turbine, DC generator with resistance load, dynamometer, and measuring instruments. The turbine and blade angle can be adjusted using a special device. The unit can also be used for testing different blade design by students.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
- Calculation of wind power.
- Turbine output VS wind speed.
- Turbine efficiency.
- Effect of blade angle.
- Effect of number of blades.
