2. Mechanical Power Extraction :The fundamental
Aerodynamic Phenomena
• The type of aerodynamic forces used for generation of change in
tangential velocity across a rotor greatly influences the actual
power developed by a wind turbine.
• All bodies exposed to an airflow experience an aerodynamic force.
• The components of which are defined as aerodynamic drag (in the
direction of flow), and as aerodynamic lift (at a right angle to the
direction of flow}.
• The real power coefficients obtained vary greatly in dependence on
whether aerodynamic drag or aerodynamic lift is used for power
generation.
• A significant enhancement in power generation can be achieved in
lift machines when compared to and drag machine.
• This is due to the fact that much higher relative wind velocities can
be achieved with lift machines.

4. Drag Translator
• Drag results from the relative velocity between the wind and the
device.
• The power extracted by an elementary drag is the product of the
drag force and the translation velocity.

5. Simple Drag Device
• The simplest type of wind energy conversion
can be achieved by means of pure drag
surfaces.
• The air impinges on the surface A with
velocity V0.
• The instantaneous power capture P from the
aerodynamic drag D, and the velocity Vblade
with which it moves is expressed as :
