Wind Power Plant Working Principle!By Imran.

Wind Power Plant Working principle By Mohammad Imran HVAC engineer. Wind energy is an indirect form of solar energy since wind is produced chiefly by the uneven heating of the earth’s crust by the sun. The kinetic energy of the wind can be utilized to produce with the help of wind turbine.

Wind Power Plant Working Principle As the free wind stream interacts with turbine rotor, it transfers a part of the kinetic energy to the rotor due to which its speed decreases. This difference in kinetic energy is converted into mechanical power. This is the basic wind power plant working principle. The total wind power is equal to the incoming kinetic energy of the wind stream. It can be expressed as: Total wind power, Pt = (ρACi3)/2 Where, ρ = density of air (in kg/m3) A = rotor swept area = πr2 (r = radius of blades in meters) Ci = incoming wind velocity (in m/s). The density of air (ρ) is somewhat complicated since it depends on the definition of “ideal” air, the temperature, the altitude, and the water vapor content. It is approximately 1.2 kg/m3 at sea level and room temperature. Thanks for read if you want to anything related to HVAC and Mechanical Engineering then comments and subscribe for new update.
