Wind – Movement of air is called wind

The wind moves everything what so ever comes in to its way. The conceptual idea of wind generator is derived from the artistic thought of “The wind firki”, which is just a children game.

Wind rotates wind mill and wind turbine identically, in which it does for small mill firki. In case of firki the wind passes through and energy does not utilized, but in case of the wind turbine the passing through wind do lot of work. With the help of the energy of the wind, wind turbine rotates the generator and produces the electricity. This production of the electricity is mainly depending on the velocity of the wind. Only higher wind velocity through out the year makes the wind energy project viable. The potential of generation of the power increases as the cube of the increase in the velocity of the wind i.e. by doubling the velocity of the wind the potential of the power in wind increase by eight times.

The state of art technology of wind turbine generator converts the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy. The kinetic energy of wind is transfer though blades of wind generator into mechanical energy and drives the shaft of the generator. This mechanism transfers the rotary movement to the generator through gears and mechanical energy is converted into the electrical energy. The electrical energy is then supplied into the grid after stepping up to a required electrical voltage.

The wind turbine system consists of blades, shafts, gears and generator is controlled by the sophisticated computer controlled system installed at the base of the tower, which also have sensors to sense the wind speed and its directions to switch on and off the wind turbine generator.
