41.3 Wind Turbines
The development of windmills has a long tradition. Windmills were already in use in Japan and China thousands of years ago. The great irrigation systems of Babylon are thought to have been powered by windmotors. Examples of windmills erected almost 2000 years ago still exist in Egypt. 'Wind power generation was first introduced to the Western world around the 8th century A.D. By the 16th centur...
متن کاملDirect - Drive Wind Turbines
The objective of this paper is to identify suitable generator concepts for direct-drive wind turbines by reviewing directdrive and geared generator systems. Usually, in literature, comparison of different generator systems is discussed with the criteria based on the energy yield, cost, and weight. Because direct-drive permanent-magnet machines are more superior in terms of the energy yield, rel...
متن کاملVirtual Wind Speed Sensor for Wind Turbines
A data-driven approach for development of a virtual wind-speed sensor for wind turbines is presented. The virtual wind-speed sensor is built from historical wind-farm data by data-mining algorithms. Four different data-mining algorithms are used to develop models using wind-speed data collected by anemometers of various wind turbines on a wind farm. The computational results produced by differe...
متن کاملNoise Spectra from Wind Turbines
This paper presents observations of audio noise in frequency range 20-20 000 Hz from wind turbines. The observations were performed around the theoretically calculated 40 dBA noise perimeter around the wind turbine farm at Oxhult, Sweden. This paper describes a newly designed and constructed a field qualified data acquisition system to measure spectra and total noise level of sound from wind tu...
متن کاملInfrasound Emission from Wind Turbines
A critical survey of all known published measurement results of infrasound from wind turbines has been made. The survey indicates that wind turbines of contemporary design with an upwind rotor generate very faint infrasound with a level far below the threshold of perception even at a rather short distance. From considerations on propagation and transmission of infrasound it is concluded that in...
