Optimized manufacturing of the small dual wind turbine used to generate electricity in central Iraq areas

Abstract

Start your Due to the importance of generating electricity from wind turbines, single rotor wind turbine and dual rotor wind turbine. There was a need to design and manufacture the turbine system operating in both types mentioned above and have advantages to increase the generation of electric power. The aim of this work was to generate electrical power at a wind speed of up to 1m/s and more to achieve this wind speed and direction of the wind were adopted from tables of the Zerbatiya Station of the Wasit Governorate (Geographically located in central Iraq). The simulation was used to generate rotational speed for front and rear blades from 1m/sec to 13m/sec. A new idea was used to induce the dual small wind turbine to generate electrical power at low speed (1m/sec). In this case, there is latent energy in the surrounding wind turbine, but it is not that helps to rotate the wind turbine. To apply this idea the starter motor is used. Passive magnetic bearing supports have been used to reduce friction of the rotors this will reduce losing of wind energy. Brakes are the mechanical devices which aimed to slow or shut down the machine. They are also designed to prevent moving after stopping. Finally, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) was used within the program for the purpose of obtaining the best amount of power generated. All the above were for the purpose of determining the best position for blades at different speeds to generate electricity by using Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Generator (400W).Results of this paper: (a)-The starter motor proved good performance when using it. (b)-Using passive magnetic bearing proved effect on increase the power generation. (c)-Mechanical brakes work to stop the system within a period of time and not immediately as this will negatively affect the performance of the system.
