Wind Turbine Dynamics

A versatile, compact apparatus for teaching the fundamentals of kinetic wind energy conversion into electrical power. Flexibility is at the core, it has a castor-mounted frame for mobility and functionality and allows students to 3D-print their own blades for advanced experimentation.

The wind tunnel that the turbine is mounted in has a bell mouth and honeycomb for flow settling on the inlet. Speed is measured by an anemometer that is stowed away when not in operation so the flow is not disturbed. The turbine can be viewed from both sides of the tunnel through a transparent window and a sliding door with an interlock. Learn about Wind Turbine Dynamics suppliers for optimal educational outcomes.. The turbine features motorised blade pitching and digital read-back so down time during experiments is reduced. Attached to the base of the turbine is the yawing mechanism and the setting handle. Learn about Wind Turbine Dynamics specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. The turbine is compatible with custom-designed 3D-printed blades built upon the hub CAD file provided. A removable silencer is attached to the rear of the wind tunnel to reduce noise pollution. Learn about Wind Turbine Dynamics for educational labs for optimal educational outcomes.. The silencer can be stowed beneath the apparatus to reduce space when it is stored.
