WIND TURBINE RENEWABLE POWER SYSTEM

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1

INTRODUCTION In this era of globalization and technology, human cannot manage to separate from technology because the technology is one of the basic that we need to improve for our country in way to keep relevant and compete with others that lead in manufacturing and engineering. We can all see how gas prices and energy costs are rising. And there is no indication that they will fall in the near future. In fact, all the evidence points to higher and higher prices in the upcoming years. That is reason enough to look into renewable energy but certainly not the only reason Because of that we had to decide to invent one of the new renewable system that can produce the electricity with the combination of the solar power system and the wind power system.

ABOUT THE WIND TURBINE RENEWABLE POWER Renewable Ener ! !enewable energy is energy generated from natural resources such as sunlight, wind,

rain, tides, and geothermal heat which are renewable (naturally replenished). In "##$, about %&' of global final energy consumption came from renewable, with %(' coming from traditional biomass, such as wood)burning. *ydroelectricity was the next largest renewable source, providing 3% of global energy consumption and 15% of global electricity generation. hile most renewable energy pro!ects and production is large"scale, renewable technologies are also suited to small off"grid applications, sometimes in rural and remote areas, where energy is often crucial in human development.

W"n# T%rb"ne &!'(e) A wind turbine is a rotating machine which converts the kinetic energy of wind into

mechanical energy. Wind turbines can rotate about either a horizontal or vertical a+is, the former being more common Wind power is converted to electricity by a wind turbine. In a typical, modern, large) scale wind turbine, the kinetic energy in the wind ,the energy of moving air molecules- is converted to rotational motion by the rotor 1.3.3.2 Crea("n Ele*(r"*"(! .or our final pro ect, we use the /0 1otor to generate the electrical power. $he blade will connect directly to the %& motor , the %& motor is one type of the electrical generator.
