INVESTIGATION OF AN AUTARKIC MINI WIND TURBINE

摘要

In order to enter the urban environment with wind energy applications, a small-scale wind turbine was investigated. Mounted on, e.g. a bike, the citizen is cycling and generating most of the wind. While the bike is parked and wind is blowing, energy is produced, meant to charge small electrical items. Compared to big scale wind turbines, different boundary conditions must be considered. For use in the first experiments, a 24V DC motor was used as generator. The characteristics in generator mode were obtained by connecting it to a motor of the same type. Based on this generator a few different rotor designs were carried out and manufactured.
