3. INTRODUCTION
Since the 1850’s, Carbon Dioxide
Emissions have dramatically increased
due to the burning of fossil fuels and
industrial processes.
Just over the past 10 years, the world
has emitted more CO2 than it did
from the entire period since the start
of the industrial revolution. The
combustion of fossil fuels for
electricity, heat and transportation
has resulted in ridiculous amounts of
Carbon dioxide emissions that it’s
resulting in the rapid depletion and
degradation of the Earth’s natural
capital as well as climate change.
Without deep emission cuts, It is likely that
earth will cross the target of two degrees
celsius above pre-industrial levels by 2050
and 4 degrees celsius by 2100.
Power Plant air emissions are one of the
main contributors for approximately
one-third of nitrogen oxide emissions,
two-thirds of sulfur dioxide emissions,
and one-third of carbon dioxide
emissions nationwide. And one of the
most powerful ways for a country to
reduce their ecological footprint is
through transitioning to a clean
renewable energy.

7. OBJECTIVES
to be able to scale
a model of a wind
turbine
to demonstrate
how wind turbines
works
to determine how
wind turbines
generate and
supply electricity
The purpose of this experiment is to design an experiment on how wind turbines generate electric power.
This paper will describe the concept of generating power using wind energy and explain how wind energy
works. The design of experiment’s aim to measure and obtain the following results:

8. METHODOLOGY
MULTIMETER
An instrument used for measuring
a tool for measuring various
electrical characteristics.
WOOD FRAME
The primary structure of the wind
propeller will be made of wood. It
will sustain the entire system and
endure the propeller's vibration.
BULB
A wire filament in an electric light
is heated till it glows. The
indication will be a lamp that will
turn on if the wind propeller
produces energy
CLIP FAN
With the use of plastic elesi, it will
be used as a miniaturized wind
propeller made out of plastic elesi
spin.
DYNAMO METER
an electromagnetically powered
device that generates direct current
electricity. It also goes by the
name "generator."
ANEMOMETER
counts the number of rotations,
which is used to calculate wind
speed.

12. INTERPRETATION
01
Kinetic Energy from Wind to
Mechanical Energy
A wind source is utilized to provide wind
kinetic energy and transform it into
mechanical energy by rotating the
propeller of the AC Generator. The
acceleration of AC Generator in the
centripetal motion depends upon its
potential and the magnitude of the exerted
kinetic energy.

13. INTERPRETATION
02
Mechanical Energy to Electrical
Energy
As the wind rotates the propeller in the
rotor shaft, it converts Mechanical Energy
to Electrical Energy. When a rotor rapidly
rotates between the poles of a magnetic
field, the conducting coils surrounding the
armature that is attached to the rotor
create electromotive force and cuts the
magnetic field. The conductor’s electrons
will interact with the magnetic field,
allowing electric current to flow through it.

14. SYNTHESIS
This experiment intended to insight the literature review of wind
turbines. Important terminologies, facts, performance aspects,
components and future prospects of wind turbines are also
presented in this project. Wind is in long use by humans which
continue to grow and flourish the wind industry. Wind energy was
cheapest, widely available, renewable and posed minimal damaging
effects on the environment. Moreover, achieving the intended goals
of this project, which include designing a wind turbine that can
produce power and describing the idea and physics behind it. Over
the next few decades, wind energy will rank among the most
significant and frequently used renewable energy sources. Although
there are significant obstacles to overcome, they all seem solvable.

15. CONCLUSION
By all counts, and with proven results, this experiment showed
how wind turbines generate and supply electricity. In this
project prototype we were able to test all the parameters and
how they correlate. We've proved the linear relationship
between the Generated Voltage and the Output Power and
Current. Further test results also show the linear correlation
between wind speed and generated power output. The wind
speed determined the amount of electricity generated by the
turbine, higher wind speeds generate more power as it allows
the blade to rotate faster, thus resulting to more mechanical
and electrical power from the generator. To prove this, in this
scale model of a wind turbine, as the blades turn at 4.2 m/s, it
was able to generate a power output of 7.56W. On the other
hand, it was able to generate a lower power output of 1.09W
when the blades turned at 2.2 m/s, indicating that the amount
of electricity generated by the turbine largely depends on the
wind speed. Therefore, satisfying the desired objectives of this
experiment, which is to design a wind turbine capable of
generating electricity and explain the concept and mechanics
behind it.
