WIND ENERGY
I. Wind is abundant almost in any part of the world.
II. Its existence in nature caused by uneven heating on the surface of the earth as well
as the earth’s rotation means that the wind resources will always be available.
III. Wind energy is the most reliable and effective renewable energy resource for
responding to growing demand

3. Ravi Damerla
WHERE DOES WIND COMES FROM?
I. The wind is a by-product of solar energy.
II. Approximately 2% of the sun's energy
reaching the earth is converted into wind
energy.
III. The surface of the earth heats and cools
unevenly, creating atmospheric pressure
zones that make air flow from high- to
low-pressure areas.
Wind energy, like the other renewable energy sources, prevents the emission of
CO2; is a limitless resource and reduces nations’ energy dependence

4. Ravi Damerla
WIND POWER
I. Wind power is a measure of the energy available in the wind.
II. It is a function of the cube (third power) of the wind speed.
III. This relationship means that small differences in wind speed lead to large
differences in power.
EQUATION OF WIND POWER
I. The amount of power available in the wind is determined by the equation
I. w is power, r is air density, A is the rotor area, and v is the wind speed.
II. Air density varies according to elevation, temperature and weather fronts.
w = 1/2 r A v3

5. Ravi Damerla
I. The first use of a windmill to generate
electricity was in Cleveland, Ohio in
1888 by Charles F. Brush.
II. During the 1920’s modified propellers
were used to drive direct current
generators.

WIND AS ELECTRICITY
WIND TURBINES
HORIZONTAL AXIS WIND
TURBINE (HAWT)
VERTICAL AXIS WIND
TURBINE (VAWT)
I. Presently we are generating electricity with wind is based upon mainly on wind
turbines.
II. These wind turbines can be classified generally as commercial or residential.
III. The commercial or utility scale turbines typically tower above the ground at 60 to
200 feet where the air moves more freely.
IV. Wind turbines are able to capture and convert to electricity the clean, green
renewable energy that flows everyday at most places on Earth.
PRESENT

7. HORIZONTAL AXIS WIND TURBINE ( HAWT )
PRESENT
I. This is the most common wind turbine design.
In addition to being parallel to the ground, the
axis of blade rotation is parallel to the wind
flow.
II. The commercial wind generators commonly have
three blades that help balance out the device and
reduce wear and tear on the bearings.
III. The horizontal axis wind turbine have a gearbox
that drives an electrical generator on the backside.
IV. The tip speed on the wind turbine blades can be as
much as six times the speed of the wind itself.

8. Ravi Damerla
I. Wind generators are much smaller in size
compared other types electrical generators.
II. Small size allows wind power to be very
versatile.
III. Wind power is a great compliment to a house
with a preexisting photovoltaic system.
IV. Serves as a great backup system.
V. Wind power gives off no harmful emissions into
the environment.
VI. The more time spent researching makes each
new wind turbine more efficient.
SOME LIST ABOUT HAWT
Some of the disadvantages of large commercial horizontal wind turbines is that
construction, transportation and installation can be quite expensive. Some local residents
may object to a wind farm disrupting the appearance of the landscape.

9. Ravi Damerla
I. The vertical axis turbines can be installed lower to the ground and may offer more
unique design than horizontal turbines with typical blades.
II. The energy provided by residential wind turbines can offset part of one's monthly bill
or in some instances will provide the homeowner the chance to sell power back to the
utility company.
III. Home wind generators, whether on the rooftop or in one's yard provide those with
houses the opportunity for individual energy independence including lower bills.

HELICAL WIND TURBINE
Helical wind turbines have grown in popularity recently
especially for home and urban use.
They look like DNA structures, other spiral designs which
catch the wind and produce electricity.
slower speeds along the blade tips
mounted on rooftops, in yards, at airports or other settings
depending upon the exact design and application
bird safety
less susceptible with crosswinds than bladed turbines
no tail-fan to keep them pointed in the optimal direction
beauty of the Helix Wind turbine
mounted lower, so installation costs will be lower, and regulations less significant.

11. Ravi Damerla
A MODEL APPROACH ON HELICAL WIND TURBINE
As the wind blows the long helical blade scoops catch wind from all directions forcing it
through the turbine.
In winds as low as 10 mph
the Helix system creates
electricity to power your
home or business
The turbine generator is connected directly to your home and as electricity is generated
your home is powered.
The success of the
commercial wind industry
has propelled significant
advances in small turbine
design, making these
systems more reliable,
quieter and safer than
those introduced in past
decades

12. Ravi Damerla
PLS – VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE
PLS has provided the latest cutting-edge technological VAWT.
These VAWT can serve as a single source of energy generation or can be coupled together
with appropriate solar panels so as to become a complete off-grid solution.

13. Ravi Damerla
This new range of VAWT generators works on a proven Magnetic Levitation technology
to enhance efficiency.
The three wing-blades are built on similar principles as aircraft wings, which help the
turbine to rotate and generate energy at a very low wind speeds.
Major advantages with the VAWT system are
- Low start-up wind speed, Less Noisy
- Excellent structural stability as compared to HAWT
- Freedom from directional wind
- low maintenance
- there is no mechanical wear & tear
Pls introduced the 300W Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT)
system at first and they are ready with a complete range of
VAWT systems generating up-to 3000W power

The Turbine Axis – Bearings
The axis is a hollow, re-enforced steel
mast, using a double frictionless
bearing system to decrease
resistance, while increasing efficiency
This bearing system allows self-
stabilization of the rotating turbine,
so that even in very high winds, the
heavy material stresses and loads are
reduced and remain perfectly
balanced
