DEVELOPMENT OF AN 8 KILOWATT WIND TURBINE GENERATOR FOR RESIDENTIAL TYPE APPLICATIONS Phase 1 Design mid Analysis Volume Ⅱ TECHNICAL REPORT

摘要

The goal of this program is to develop Wind Energy Conversion Systems (SWBCR) with poten¬tial for rapid commercialization, and which will be economically viable in rural and residential areas. The objective of the 8 kW WTO program is to develop and provide a practical prototype capable of being manu¬factured and sold at prices competitive with alternative energy sources. The task has boon a challenging one, and the detailed trade-off studies performed in hase have resulted in a configuration which differs some¬what from the original concept. Grumman is confident, however, that the final design at the completion of the contract has the capability of meeting the overall program goals.
