The document is a mini-project report submitted by three students on the implementation of a windmill power producing system. It discusses the design and construction of a wind turbine to harness wind power, including the turbine blades, tower, generator, rectifier circuit, battery for power storage, and integration with the electrical grid. It analyzes voltage stability of different wind turbine models to optimize output power.

3. IMPLEMENTATION OF WINDMILL A POWER PRODUCING
SYSTEM
ABSTRACT:
This report describes about the wind power and its potential that can be
harnessed in the future to meet the current energy demand. With detailed
description of the wind turbine and the wind generator focus has been given
on the interconnection of the generators with the grid and the problems
associated with it. The use of power electronics in the circuitry and their
applicationshave also been emphasized. In the end a voltage stability analysis
has been done with respect to various models of the wind turbines
to find the best way to clear faults and have optimum output accurate.
Renewable Energy Sources are those energy sources which are not destroyed
when their energy is harnessed. Human use of renewable energy requires
technologies that harness natural phenomena, such as sunlight, wind, waves,
water flow, and biological processes such as anaerobic digestion, biological
hydrogen production and geothermal heat. Amongst the above mentioned
sources of energy there has been a lot of development in the technology for

4. harnessing energy from the wind .Wind is the motion of air masses produced by
the irregular heating of the earth’s surface by sun .
