Piggott turbine design_code_dakar_presentationHanan E. Levy
The document describes a Blade Element Momentum (BEM) model and battery charging generator model developed in Matlab to estimate electricity production and blade/tower loads for Hugh Piggott wind turbine designs. The model consists of a BEM code that uses turbine geometry and airfoil data to predict shaft power and blade loads, and a generator model that balances blade power with generator output. Test results show the model accurately estimates performance for one turbine design but less accurately for another, identifying areas for improvement. The open-source code and a future web interface are intended to help turbine designers evaluate and optimize their designs.

This document summarizes a study conducted by Pandion Systems, Inc. and contributors for NYSERDA on the relative risks to wildlife from different electricity generation sources. It finds that risks vary by life cycle stage and across sources. Coal generally poses the highest risks, while wind and nuclear pose lower risks. However, a holistic, cradle-to-grave approach is needed, as all sources affect wildlife. Further analysis is still required to quantify impacts. The framework aims to facilitate rational discussion of comparative wildlife impacts across different electricity generation types and life cycles.
The 1st annual EWB-Israel Conference will be held on Friday, June 8th, 2012 from 9:00-15:00 at the Peres Center for Peace located at 132 Kedem St., Tel Aviv- Jaffa. The conference will include a keynote lecture, project presentations from chapters, hands-on technical workshops, and more. Attendance is free but an RSVP is required by emailing hannahbardin@gmail.com.
This document discusses using an Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) to measure particulate matter during the Lag Ba'omer holiday in Israel. It provides information on the AMS and how it can be used to measure aerosol composition, size distributions, and organic and inorganic components in real-time. Measurements were taken with the AMS, SMPS, other particle sizers, and compared to EPA PM10 data to characterize particles during Lag Ba'omer celebrations.

This document outlines a two-hour presentation on wind energy harvesting basics and its application for off-grid systems. The presentation will include an example project outlining the steps to design a wind energy system including estimating the wind resource, needs, turbine sizing, choosing AC/DC, battery bank sizing, inverter sizing, economics, comparing products, and reviewing case studies from organizations in countries like Peru, Zimbabwe, Israel and Palestine.

Small wind power for rural locations - part 1Hanan E. Levy
The document outlines a lecture on wind energy harvesting basics, resource assessment, and application for off-grid systems. The lecturer, Hanan Einav-Levy, has experience installing small wind turbines. The 4-hour lecture aims to provide a basic comprehensive understanding of wind energy systems and references for future use. The outline details the topics to be covered, including the global wind resource, wind turbine technology, estimating wind resources, and case studies of off-grid wind projects.

The Endurance E-3120 50kW wind turbine is designed to efficiently and reliably produce renewable energy for commercial and industrial sites. It has a large rotor diameter of 19m to capture wind energy and can produce 100,000-250,000 kWh per year. The turbine operates safely using a control system and dual brake system to stop the rotor in high winds or grid failures.

The document discusses the integration of multiple regional economies. It notes that from 1995 to 2015 there was increased investment and management of most aspects of the economic integration process. This included the development of technology and infrastructure as well as regional differentiation and settlement across northern, central, and southern areas. Overall investments totaled $180 billion with continued economic integration over the entire domestic territory.
