Wind Energy Conversion System

1. Introduction

Wind energy is one of the most promising renewable sources of energy. It is clean, sustainable, and

abundant. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy, which can be used to power

homes, businesses, and other applications. This project focuses on the design and construction of a

small-scale Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS).

2. Objectives

- To design a small-scale WECS

- To study the working principle of wind turbines

- To analyze the power output and efficiency

3. Literature Review

Wind energy has been explored for decades as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Modern WECS

incorporate technologies such as aerodynamic blade designs, efficient generators, and smart power

electronics. Previous research emphasizes efficiency improvements and integration with smart grids.

4. Components Used

- Wind turbine blades

- PMDC motor as generator

- Charge controller

- Battery (12V)

- Inverter

- Supporting tower
Wind Energy Conversion System

- Rectifier and wiring

5. Working Principle

Wind strikes the turbine blades causing them to rotate. The rotational energy is transferred to a DC generator

(PMDC motor), converting it into electrical energy. The output is rectified and stored in a battery through a

charge controller. An inverter can be used to power AC loads.

6. Design and Construction

The turbine blades are mounted on a central hub connected to the PMDC motor. The assembly is placed on

a tower for optimal wind exposure. The generated power is regulated and stored in a 12V battery for usage.

7. Testing and Results

The system was tested under wind speeds of 3-6 m/s. Voltage output ranged between 9V and 13.5V. Peak

power output was around 10-15W. A 12V 1.3Ah battery was charged successfully under moderate wind

conditions.

8. Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

- Clean and renewable

- Low operating cost

- Suitable for rural areas

Limitations:
Wind Energy Conversion System

- Dependent on wind availability

- Mechanical maintenance required

- Low efficiency on a small scale

9. Applications

- Rural electrification

- Educational demonstrations

- Battery charging stations

- Street lighting systems

10. Conclusion

The Wind Energy Conversion System designed in this project effectively demonstrates the conversion of

wind energy into electrical energy. While small-scale systems have limitations, they provide valuable insight

into renewable energy technologies.
