Wind Power Station
A wind power station is group of wind turbines in the
same location used to produce electric power
Wind energy source of renewable power which come
from air current flowing across the earth surface
Wind energy one of the fastest growing sources of new
electricity generation in the world to day
Elements of power station
OPERATIONS
 Blades :
Blades “Catch” the wind and use it to rotate the low speed
shaft & convert kinetic energy to mechanical energy
 Gear box :
Gear box connect low- speed shaft to high-speed shaft
and increase speed “60 rpm-1800 rpm” and use it to
rotate Generator
Bearing : Bearing provide the smooth rotation
Generator : Generator convert mechanical energy to
electrical energy
Transformer (Step up) :
transformer develops the voltage from generator out put voltage
Tower : support the structure of the turbine
Controller : control speed of turbine
Efficiency
 A modern turbine has a maximum capacity of around
2000KW or 2MW
 A 2MW wind turbine will generate around 30% of
its maximum theoretical capacity resulting in 5256
MWh generated per turbine per year
Turbine can generate 0.5MW -2.5MW
Advantages of Wind Power
Environmental
Economic Development
Fuel Diversity & Conservation
Cost Stability
Environmental Benefits
No air pollution
No greenhouse gasses
Does not pollute water with mercury
No water needed for operations
Economic Development Benefits
Expanding Wind Power development brings jobs to
rural communities
Increased tax revenue
Purchase of goods & services
Fuel Diversity Benefits
Domestic energy source
Inexhaustible supply
Small, dispersed design
Disadvantages
Wind speed variable & unreliable
Kill Birds & Bats
Wind turbine produce large amount of noise pollution
Land use
Future of wind power station
The use of increasingly sophisticated flow
modeling techniques;
 Further validation of wake models;
The use of remote sensing techniques to
measure wind speed;
 Improved estimates of ‘loss factors’
 More sophisticated approaches to uncertainty
analysis.
