WIND POWER PLANT FOR THE NEEDS OF SMALL AGRICULTURAL FACILITIES

Abstract

There are many advantages of wind energy, including energy, environmental, economic. Relatively low investment in wind energy projects compared to traditional energy industries. The total kinetic energy of wind in the world can be estimated as 80 times higher than the total energy consumption by humans. And although only a certain fraction of this total can be used for energy needs, the future. The development of the technology itself has enormous potential. The article introduces and provides a brief analysis and historical background of existing designs of low-power wind power plants of the world's major manufacturers; the purpose of research on the proposed topic is indicated. Proposed and developed and described a promising scheme of a wind farm for the needs of small agricultural facilities, which makes it possible to receive electric current at low wind speeds in all natural and climatic zones of Ukraine. It has been established that low-power wind power plants are one of the promising areas for obtaining electrical energy and meeting the needs for small agricultural facilities. The proposed scheme for generating electrical energy. This design of a wind turbine can produce both DC and AC power for stand-alone or grid systems. The calculation of the wind turbine rotor diameter has been reduced. The advantages and disadvantages of wind energy in comparison with traditional energy industries are described. Brief conclusions are made on the proposed design of the wind farm, this will improve the environment, reducing the impact of anthropogenic factors on the environment and also, taking into account the constant increase in energy prices, save money, since such independent small wind farms allow small agricultural facilities to be provided with energy sources.
