Fabrication of small size wind turbine and studying its characterization

Abstract

Wind energy is one of the renewable energies. the horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) fabricated in Iraq Tikrit, the system operating at low speeds. The characteristics of the two and three blade turbine are comparing. the results for best performance, We found that when used three-blade increasing the output power of the system, so when using two blades, the power (314.1 W) and the number of cycles (62.1) at wind speed (6.6 m/s), and also when using three blades, the power (354.40 W) and the number of cycles (67.9) at the same Wind speed.
