TRIZ Creativity Approach to the Design of an Innovative Wind Turbine System

Abstract

The main aim of a conceptual design is to obtain the innovative projects or ideas to enable the products and designs with best performance, what is also including the materials especially ceramics optimal selection for the effective solutions. The theory of inventive problem solution (TRIZ) is a systematic methodology for innovation. The design of a wind turbine system as an engineering example is illuminated in this paper to show the significance and approaches of applying TRIZ in getting the creative conceptual design ideas. In recent years the use of renewable energy including wind energy has risen dramatically. Because of the increasing development of wind power production, improvement of the design and control of wind turbines is necessary. To optimize the power produced in a wind turbine, it is important to analyze the wind turbine designs and systems. To build a wind turbine model with the best features, it is desirable to analyze factors that are truly relevant to the converted wind energy. The main aim of this work is to show a systematic methodology for innovation as an effective procedure to enhance the capability of developing innovative products and to overcome the main design problems. The TRIZ method will be used in order to eliminate the technical contradictions which appear in the wind turbine systems.
